[English translation:]
Bear Hunt Song
Among the spruce trees
In the springtime
We're hunting a bear
We're chasing a big one
We're waiting around it's nest
We're lurking at it's front door
We're sharpening our spears
We're testing our weapons
The savage one tried to escape
The king of the forest raged out
The bear went down as a king
Impaled by alder stakes
Now we're having the feast
Remembering the forest's king
We make sacrifice to Ukko
And we worship his son
