from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Puhu tuuli purteheni
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Puhu tuuli purteheni,
Ahava alukseheni,
Anna airoille apua,
Huoparille huovitusta!
Aivan on airot pikkaraiset,
Soutajat vähäväkiset,
Pienoiset peränpitäjät,
Lapset laivan hallitsijat.
Tuuvittele tuuli purtta,
Soutele vesi venettä;
Anna juosta puisen purren,
Mennä mäntyisen venehen,
Juosta purren puittomia,
Kiiteä kivittömiä!
