Viina, terva & hauta [English translation]

From bark a mouth

From bark the side of a birch

From bark the roots of hair

Draw their fire

From tar a tree

From tar the reasons and consequences

From tar the thoughts

Those covered in tar will comprehend

If not liquor and tar and tomb will

Help slice the darkness

Ember will wane, ash will darken

Cold will find home

As chill does the earth

As ash does the condensed

So will the woods answer

as it is ploughed

In vain will the snag fall alone

and decompose in loneliness

So will the woods answer

as pot and the kettle

We chasten each other

and forget to poke the fire

If not liquor and tar and tomb will

Help slice the darkness

Ember will wane, ash will darken

Cold will find home

As chill does the earth

As ash does the condensed

Liquor! Tar! Tomb!

Liquor and tar and tomb!

Tomb! Tomb! Tomb!
