Räähähenki [English translation]

On dead calm the lantern flame still flutters

Tapestries and curtains on the wall are restless

On the firewood bin a lid keeps banging

Cottage’s tin goblets against each other clanging

Stones of the sauna stove striking the walls

Rotten benches thrown out the door

A restless peon, the raging spirit

Justice would put this soul at peace

Would tie a mourning ribbon on his sleeve

If he wore a wooden overcoat

Then he might well show some restraint

The ashes puffed from fireplace all over

Burning wood splinters cast to a basket

Fire jumped to the straws

From the straws to the wall

From the wall to the rafters

Now amidst the fiery house is screaming:

Put to death not guilty, into a bog sunk my body

The farmer's daughter vowed to be my wife

Grudge end envy cost me my life

To beside the church take my body

My brother is the man who is guilty
