ENGLISH TRANSLATION
‘VÄINÄMÖINEN’S WOUNDED KNEE’ (trad., translation by Otso Mäensivu)

Väinämöinen old and trusty
magician of time eternal
carved his boat on a mountain
clanged it on a solid rock

From a stone the axe rebound
strike it did the poor boys knee
and so was the blood aflow
streams of red now overflowing

Left he did to seek and find it
clog to stop the blood from flooding
Went along the first road he found
arrived to the first house he came

Old man from the oven top speaks
grandfather under the quilt says
What sort of man does there tread?
Who on earth might be the hero?

I am the old Väinämöinen
magician of time eternal
carved mine boat on a mountain
clanged it on a solid rock
Left mine boat to seek and find it
clog to stop the blood from flowing

Old man answered from the oven top
grandfather beneath the blankets
I Can’t say nor do I know how
I Can’t say nor do I know how

Left he did to seek and find it
clog to stop the blood from flooding
Went along the middle road now
arrives to the middle house then

Old man from the oven top speaks
grandfather under the quilt says
What sort of man does there tread?
Who on earth might be the hero?

I am the old Väinämöinen
magician of time eternal
carved mine boat on a mountain
clanged it on a solid rock
From a stone the axe rebound
strike it did the poor boys knee
Left mine boat to seek and find it
clog to stop the blood from flowing

Old man answered from the oven top
grandfather beneath the blankets
I Can’t say nor do I know how
I Can’t say nor do I know how

Left he did to seek and find it
Clog to stop the blood from flooding
Went along the last road he found
arrive did he to the last house

Old man from the oven top speaks
grandfather under the quilt says
What sort of man does there tread?
Who on earth might be the hero?

I am the old Väinämöinen
magician of time eternal
carved mine boat on a mountain
clanged it on a solid rock
From a stone the axe rebound
strike it did the poor boys knee
and so was the blood aflow
streams of red now overflowing
Left mine boat to seek and find it
clog to stop the blood from flowing

Old man answered from the oven top
grandfather beneath the blankets
I can say it, I do know how
I can say it, I do know how

Words they do melt in mine mouth
More round than a hazel hen’s egg
Stronger than the ox’s head is
Stronger than the ox’s head is
So let life not hit the ground
nor the strength of men to touch grass

So did the blood stop from flowing
So did halt the stream of redness
So did the blood stop from flowing
So did halt the stream of redness
