Hear me now, smith Ilmarinen, If you will not now release me, I will smash your sledge to pieces, And will break it into fragments, Break it with my knees asunder, Break it with my legs to fragments.

Know, the sledge by smith was fashioned, And the boards are bound with iron, 140 And it can withstand the pushing, And the noble maiden's struggles.

If you will not now release me, To a lake-fish I'll transform me, In the deepest waves a powan.

Even so you will not 'scape me, I myself as pike will follow.

If you will not now release me, 160 To the wood will I betake me, Hiding in the rocks like ermine.

Even thus you will not 'scape me, For as otter I'll pursue you.
human
If you will not now release me, As a lark I'll soar above you, And behind the clouds will hide me.

Even thus you will not 'scape me, For as eagle I'll pursue you.
