Kyisen pellon kyntäjät [English translation]

Acid rain hits the window

The vents have been blocked

In the warmth of the room I write

My final will

My flaxen-haired daughters, sons,

You will inherit everything

I will leave you a field full of vipers1

Plough it or leave it unploughed

I lived a good life

Time, mercy, there was everything

I sat at a plentiful table

I always ate until I was full

From the leftovers I put together for you

A field full of vipers to be ploughed

I will leave you a field full of vipers

Without asking anything from any of you

1. A field full of vipers is known from Kalevala, where one of the heroes, Ilmarinen, has to complete different kinds of almost impossible tasks - one of them was ploughing a field full of vipers. So in this kind of context it can simply mean that the man only left his children troubles, for example.
