lyrics

(English translation of Finnish lyrics)
I thought it was the wind coming
The stormy wind blowing
Who are those people coming
In the straits of Germany?
Who are those people coming
In the straits of Germany?

The people are the bridegroom’s people
The people are the bridegroom’s people
How did you know them as his?
I know from the wood, I know from the land
I know from the strange branch

Take your steps, bridegroom’s stallion
Along the golden lane
Take your steps, bridegroom’s stallion
Along the silvery road

Six are the golden cuckoos
Cuckooing on the bow shaft
Two are the thrushes of the shore
Singing on the horse harness
Seven are the blue creatures
Standing on its collar

Step carefully

The bridegroom will not step inside the cottage
Without touching the door
The bridegroom will not step inside the cottage
Without breaking the back wall
Without touching the front wall
Without moving the side wall
The front wall is wolverine-boned
The corner wall duck-boned
The back wall deer-boned
The side wall bunting-boned

Step carefully

And the bridegroom came into the cottage
Without touching the door
And the bridegroom came into the cottage
Without needing to make the door higher
Without breaking the back wall
Without moving the side wall
