Ualtoen viemät [English translation]

The sounds of oars break the peace

Rowers' foreheads don't even sweat

A boat goes through the veil of mist,

The menacing black sky above

Whirlpools on the lake

Drawn by

The oars of the boat

Which has gone to the Underworld1

Those taken by the waves, with black nails

They're taking the boat2to the Underworld

Heading towards the place in the lake

Where the evening of life came

On the lake surface

The oars draw

A pretty face

Taken by the waves

Waves hit over the sides,

The keel turned upwards

Swells took the mast,

The rowers sank to the depths
