Ukkonen Songtext / Lyric

Ukkonen, you highest master

mighty old man of the heaven

now pull out your sword of fire

stained with blood of the black viper

pull it from its fiery scabbard






strike a fire, father of winds

send out lightning, Väinämöinen,

over the boundless open waters

over the waves of wide and high seas



The master of death, he did strike fire

sent out lightning, the wise old man,

the flame in fright struck up in the hearth

in alarm the sparks flew yonder

burned the knee-caps of a young boy

burned the breasts of a young maiden
