Then the aged Väinämöinen,

Secondly, smith Ilmarinen,

Third, the lively Lemminkäinen

Carried forth the mighty Sampo,

Forth from Pohjola´s stone mountain,

From within the hill of copper;

To the boat away they bore it,

And within the ship they stowed it.

In the boat they stowed the Sampo,

In the hold the pictured cover,

Pushed the boat into the water,

In the waves the hundred-boarded;

Splashed the boat into the water,

In the waves its sides descended.
