Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
|
Who say that music reckon that the kantele
|
Was fashioned by God
|
Out of a great pike's shoulders
|
From a water-dog's hooked bones:
|
It was mouldered from sorrow
|
|
It's belly out of hard days
|
Its sound board from endless woes
|
Its strings gathered from torments
|
And it pegs from other ills
|
Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
|
|
So it will not play, will not rejoice at all
|
Music will not play to please
|
Give off the right sort of joy
|
For it was fashioned from cares
|
Mouldered from sorrow
|
