Song: kylän päässä
[1]
Kauan sitten kylän päässä syntyi kaksi poikaa,
kaksi perillistä sodanjumalan karhuntaljoin verhotun.
Jo kolmen iästä, sanovat, toisiansa alkoivat harjoittaa
ja kun teräksensä yhteen kalahti, saattoi kuulla ukkosen.

Kauan sitten kylän päässä varttui kaksi poikaa,
kaksiko vain typerystä kuolemaa pilkkaamaan?
Ei yksikään haava vielä ollut tehnyt
tehtäväänsä
ja siksi kai sitä miekasta vihollisen täytyi anoa.

Aina kunnia houkuttaa nuorta kansaa
(ryöstöretki merten taa) ja taistelu sitäkin enemmän.
Varmaan turmaan rientävän tielle
vain toinen hullu uskaltautuu.

[2]
Kun kenttä hohkaa kärsimystä ja kirveet lentävät,
leikki kanssa kuoleman vain yltyy.
Niin riemukasta lapsien on päitä pudottaa
kuunnellessaan sotajoukkoa hurraavaa.

[3]
Usein käykin vain niin et' vertaisesta tulee alempi.
Tarinan kulku voitoista kääntyy
ja maine ihmisen helposti antaa veljensä unohtaa.

Ylpeys, tuo kavalin tauti päällä maan,
näin on vienyt taas yhden uhrin muassaan.
Kumpi lie se epatto, kilpi alhaalla ja miekka koholla
teilleen mennyt vaiko hän joka hautoja kaivaa saa?

Heikompaa voima mik' riepottaa;
kotinsa on iäksi jättänyt tahtoen vielä surmata.
Kunniaton moinen työ.

[English translation:]

[A VILLAGE AWAY]

[1]
Long ago a village away there were born two sons,
two heirs of the god of war dressed in bearskins.
From the age of three, they say, each other they did train
and when their steel did clash thunder could be heard.

Long ago a village away there did grow two sons,
or were they just two fools born to mock their deaths?
Still they hadn't got a wound that would've hurt'd enough
to prevent them from begging such from a foreign blade.

Honour always tempts the young blood
(plundering across the seas) and battles even more.
Into the way of the one rushing to his doom
only another insane dares step.

[2]
When the field emits pain and axes fly about,
play with death is on the increase.
Such a joy for children the dropping of heads is
as long as their army cheers.

[3]
Yet so often equality becomes inferiority.
The course of a story twists at triumphs
and fame so easily lets a man forsake his kin.

Thus pride, that most insidious illness on all earth,
once again has taken its prey.
Which one might be the failure, he who left with a lowered
shield and sword held high or he who has to dig the graves?

Tossed about is the weaker by what force;
his home he has left, gained just more will to slay.
What a disgrace is such work.
