Tervaskanto [English translation]

Boulder grandfather

Unabated ancient hero

Watched the woods

Mumbled on the bog

Seen all, heard all

Known all, done all

There's still much to see

to experience, to hear

When the blood-resin churns

The sprig-hairs are bloodied

Had seen all, heard all, known all

Had done all, seen all, heard all

Had known all, done all, seen all

Had head all, known all, done all

Wars were fought next to it

Battles in the backwoods

Famines in its vicinity

Seen all, heard all

Known all, done all

There's still much to see

to experience, to hear

There's still years

Until death topples the stump

Had seen all, heard all, known all

Had done all, seen all, heard all

Had known all, done all, seen all

Had head all, known all, done all

Nine lifetimes

From the strongest grandfather

Roots in the frosty soil

They strengthen the skin-cambium
