Lonkkaluut [English translation]

When our song we're compiling

For the joy of Ukko himself (Note: Ukko = the god of thunder, overlord in the Kalevala mythology)

For the groves of Kalevala

For the handsome estates of the north

Let our song expand all the stronger

Over and over our cosmic home

Through the range of space

The golden (sky)cover

Words drop from my jaw

Sparkle from my tongue

For the happiness of the great family

For the joys of all times

From where do I know my own people

On the flesh of my hips

From where do I know my hip flesh

From the birth of my heart flesh

Hip bones are made for flesh

Hearth for my own happiness

Which (words) I should conjure

Reciting the age-old

Age-old

Reciting the age-old

Age-old

Let them bring warmth to our bosoms

Joyousness to the hearts

Of the walkers of the frostlands

Travelling without roads

Let them remind us of missions

Bring our actions to be known

How we shall share love

Broaden mercy all around
