Vallåt [English translation]

I carve healing runes,

I carve protection runes,

once against the elves,

twice against the trolls,

thrice against the frost giants

Tulleri, lull

Is he still alive?

Far, far away in the forest

Why yes, he is

Why yes, he is

The little one is lying in his cradle

Take off your shoe and milk the cow

And give the little one something good to drink

I am busy, I cannot go out to pasture

I am going to the field to harrow

Well, the wind blows and birches go

And the little one still sleeps so nicely

Yes, the weather blows and the birches go

I cannot lull the little one

Lu la, is he still alive?

Yes, yes, he is.

Lu la, is he still alive?

Yes, yes, he is.
