Ukkonen, you highest master
Mighty old man of the heaven
Now pull out your sword of fire
Stained with blood of the black viper
Pull it from its fiery scabbard

Strike a fire, father of winds
Send out lightning, Väinämöinen
Over the boundless open waters
Over the waves of wide and high seas

The master of death, he did strike fire
Sent out lightning, the wise old man
The flame in fright struck up in the hearth
In alarm the sparks flew yonder
Burned the knee-caps of a young boy
Burned the breasts of a young maiden
