Piesty metsä, kostu korpi, taivu ainoinen Tapio
Saata miestä saarekselle, sille kummulle kuleta
Jost' on saalis saatavana, erän toimi tuotavana
Jost' on saalis saatavana, erän toimi tuotavana
Hiien hirven käytäville, aropeuran polkeville
Lähen nyt mie yksin metsälle, Uroista ulkotöille
Tapiolan tietä myöten, Tapion talojen kautta
Tapiolan tietä myöten, Tapion talojen kautta
Oi Ukko Ylijumala, tahi tahto taivahiitehen
He nyt mulle suovat sukset, Kepeäiset laulukivet
Joilla hiihteä hipitän poikki soijen, Hiihän kohti hiien maita
Poikki pohjan kankaahista, Poikki soijen, poikki maien
Joki joutuu vi'etehen, Kuuro tielle poikkipuolin
Silkkisillaks' siirsi vaalla, punavertavatahan se
Saata poikki salmista, vetehensiesi poikki
Poikki Pohjolan joesta, Yli kosken kuohuvoista
Oi Ukko Ylijumala, tahi tahto taivahiitehen
He nyt mulle suovat sukset, Kepeäiset laulukivet
Joilla hiihteä hipitän poikki soijen, Hiihän kohti hiien maita
Poikki pohjan kankaahista, Poikki soijen, poikki maien
[English translation:]
Off To The Hunt
Rapids and fields, be merciful.
Oh, Tapio, show me your grace.
Show me the way to the islands.
Let me wander through the woodlands
where the elusive game is,
where I may at last find my prey.
In the traces of Hiisi's moose,
throught the paths of savage deer,
for the hunt I was now chosen
for the pursuit I am leaving.
Through the woods of Tapiola,
by Tapio's huts ad lodges.
Ukko, you supreme creator,
the architect of all we see,
now betow me with decent skis.
Please grant me proper snow-shoes.
They ought to carry me briskly
while I am skiing through these swamps
through the woodlands of Lapland,
by the marshlands and the meadows.
Should rivers appear on the way,
should a creek be laid before you,
then build a bridge out of silk
and make stairs of scarlet color.
Direct the deer through sounds and straits.
Steer them through those streams and waters
through the river of Pohjola,
through enormous frothy rapids.
