Eerama [English translation]

Eerama, old woman of the North

set tasks for those who sought her daughter's hand:

“Plough a field of vipers,

turn over the serpent-ridden soil.

And you'll have to forge the plough yourself

or Eerama won't give her to you.”

Eerama, old woman of the North said:

“You'll have to work for my daughter.”

“Bring me the Swan of Tuonela,

shoot that sweet bird of mercy.

And hunt the sacred elk on your skis.

If you don't, my daughter isn't for you.”

"Bring me the Swan of Tuonela,

shoot that sweet bird of mercy.

And hunt the sacred elk on your skis.”

If you don't, Eerama says No.
