Hedningarna - Aivoton

Tuota toivoin tuon ikni
katsoin kaiken kasvinaian
suojakseni suurta miest
lajikseni laaullista

ei iso suannukkana eik itini luvannu
suojakseni suurta miest
lajikseni laaullista

mies minulle annettihin
uros uusi laivattihin
miehen mitta miehen varsi
ei ole miehen mielt pss
miel on viety p jtetty
aivot otsasta otettu

==English translation==

Maiden years I spent a-yearning,
Wistful days I went a-waiting
For a mate all main and mighty
Man of means for shield and safety.

But my father would not hear me,
Nor my mother would allow me
Such a man all main and mighty

Man of means for shield and safety.
Mate and spouse my elders gave me,
Shipped across the sea to wed me,

Great in growth and manly likeness,
Lacks the wits of man and sharpness.
Head he had but wits were taken,
Off his brow the brain was shaken.
