"Oh Spirit of the Forest, please open your gates to me. Let me enjoy the wonders of the woods; show me your generous gifts and all you beauty!"

lyrics

Metsän ukko halliparta, metsän kultainen kuningas,
avaa nyt aittasi avara, luinen lukko lonkahuta.
Laske juoni juoksemahan, virka vippelehtemähän,
kullaista kujoa myöten, hopeaista tietä myöten.

Metsän ukko halliparta, metsän kultainen kuningas,
avaa nyt aitta avara, luinen lukko lonkahuta.

Jost' on sillat silkit pantu, sillat silkin suot sametin,
veralla vetalät paikat, pahat paikat palttinalla.
Aja vilja vieremille, aukeimmille ahoille,
minun metsipäivinäni, erän etsiaikoinani.

Metsä ukko halliparta, metsän kultainen kuningas,
avaa nyt aittasi avara, luinen lukko lonkahuta.
Ukko kultainen kuningas, hopiainen hallitsija,
anna mulla ainojasi, kanna mulle kaunojasi,
