Hedningarna - T

Tss'on nainen tuulen tuoma
tuulen tuoma ve'en vetm
meren aaltojen ajama
meren tyrskyn tyntelem

Kuin mie kynen laulamahan
laulan mie meren mesiksi
suoloiksi meren somerot
meren hiekat hernehiksi

Yhen vyni vytnnll
yhen paitani panolla
solkeni solittamalla
polkimeni painamalla

Nouse luontoni lovesta
syntini syvst maasta
syntini syvst maasta
haavan alta haltiainen.

==English translation==

Here's a woman, brought by northwind
brought by northwind, pulled by waters,
washed ashore by waves of oceans,
drifted here on rising billows.

When but I begin my chanting
I'll sing seas to mead and honey
bottom gravel all to saltgrains
sands of sea to beans uncounted

Just by once my girdle tying,
just by once my shirt on taking
once by fastening my buckles
once my feet in shoes by thrusting.

Rise, my nature, off the earth now,
lift my sin from ground beneath me,
lift my sin from ground beneath me,
fay from underneath the aspen.
