Väinämöinen
Väinämöinen, old and steadfast
Passed the days of his existence
Where lie Väinölä`s sweet meadows,
Kalevala`s extended heathlands:
There he sang his songs of sweetness,
Sang his songs and proved his wisdom
Far away the news was carried,
Far abroad was spread the tidings
Of the songs of Väinämöinen,
Of the wisdom of the hero.
