Ämmänhauta [English translation]

Once under the moon and sun

The mornings of life decreased

In the arcane forest,

In the outskirts of Vesilahti1

There was a healer,

A skillful witch

But no rest for her,

No day just for her

Wanted to belong,

Wanted to be buried

Her corpse to be taken,

Carried away by others

When I'm a corpse,

When my days have passed

Carry my body far away

When the night has fallen

Who passes my grave,

No matter who

This you have to do,

Or bad things happen to you

But when the dawn comes

And the night has passed

There'll be my grave,

There I'll be laid

Death takes its own,

The healer into its arms

So the four men take her,

Carry the corpse of the witch

But there's light in the sky,

The first rays of the day

So it's time to lay to rest,

Make a place for the dead

After hundreds of years,

Even after a thousand years

In the arcane forest,

In the outskirts of Vesilahti

The knowledge forgotten,

The memory turned into a tale

Carried in the moonlight,

Buried before sunrise

Who passes my grave,

No matter who

This you have to do,

Or bad things happen to you

You'll have to break a twig,

Snap a rowan tree's branch

Break a birch's branch,

Lay a pine twig on the grave

Who passes my grave,

No matter who

This you have to do,

Or bad things happen to you

You'll have to break a twig,

Snap a rowan tree's branch

Break a birch's branch,

Lay a pine twig on the grave
