     Sanoi vanha Väinämöinen: / "Oi sie Antero Vipunen! / Ava suusi suuremmaksi, / Leukapielesi levitä, / Pääsisin mahasta maalle, / Kotihini kulkemahan!"

     Said old Väinämöinen then: / "O you Antero Vipunen! / Open up your mouth much wider, / Stretch it up and stretch it under– / If I could get from gut to ground / I would head home, and quickly."
