| Lyrics: |
In Finnish:
Kun mie saisin Savosta naida
Joroisista juohatella
Minä naisin kolme naista:
yhen naisin nuoren naisen,
toisen naisin vanhan naisen,
kolmannen kasatun naisen.
yhen naisin nuoren naisen,
ja kolmannen kasatun naisen.
Nuoren nuotalle panisin,
vanhan vaattehen tekohon,
kasatun kiven etehen,
kasatun kiven etehen.
Nuor' ois' nuotalla parempi,
vanha vaattehen teossa,
kasattu kiven eessä,
kasattu kiven eessä.
- Trad. -
Kanteletar
In English:
Just let me marry women
far from Savolax county,
Surely I charm most girls there
in Jorois, and elsewhere,too.
Just let me marry three ones:
One young, one old, one for fun.
the last one put together
from remain staff, and carbage.
Rejected as a carbage,
owing not much value.
The young one is a labourer,
keep fishing with a seine,
the old one just for light work,
keep sewing cloths, and cooking,
the third one, without value,
keep hanging around in homeyard,
keep rolling on all idle,
all duties light and routine.
And which are light and easy
and which are just for nothing.
