Petoelaimen Kuola

[Finnish version:]

Osmotar kaljan seppä
Kulki peltojen perillä
Pellonpekko ohran nosti
Ohra jo olueen jouti.

Hieroi Osmotar käsiä
Hieroi kerran, hieroi toisen
Siitä syntyivät eläimet
Maustehisten noutajaiset.

Haki mettä, kuusenkerkät
Mettähästä tarpeet nouti
Osmotar sen oluen laittoi
Humalasta, ohrasesta.

Muttei käy tuo ohrajuoma
Lepäelee kalja kallis
Siihen keksii keinon kumman
Osmotar oluen luoja.

"Nouda petoeläimen kuola"

Taistelusta kahden suuren
Tuo se astiaan oluen
"Nouda petoeläimen kuola
Siitä syntyy kaljan käynti."

Teki työtä käskettyä
Nouti tuolta karhun kuolan
Siitä silloin käymään lähti
Tumma kalja tuoksuvainen.

[English version:]

The Predator's Saliva

Osmotar, the father of beer
He walked to the edge of the fields
The barley had come from Pellonpekko
Thus the barley was added to beer.

Osmotar he rubbed his hands
So he rubbed the time after time
Thus the animals had come to life
Those fetchers of the seasonings.

He got the sap and he got spruce sprouts
Those he had fetched from the woods
That's how Osmotar prepared the beer
Out of hops and barley.

But the beer would not ferment
The costly ale lies still in place
That's when the means were found by him
By Osmotar, the god of beer.

Get the predator's saliva

Then he followed the instructions
So he fetched the bear's saliva
It was time for the beer to ferment
The dark proper beer so fragrant.

Thus a toast was made to Ukko
Thus the pints of beer were raised
The holiest drink of them all
Which is called the sap of the gods.
