Duration: P00H03M34S
Description: "God sent Fire the Earth from Heaven in a strike of lightning. It soared through the sky and wind and crashed into the sea. A whitefish swallowed the Fire and a pike ate the whitefish. The pike swam around in burning agony until Väinämöinen caught it, and when he cut the fish open he found Fire. "

lyrics

Iski tulta ilman ukko, seitsemällä sieran päällä,
kaheksalla kannikalla, kirposi tulikipuna.
Läpi kuuen kirjokannen, läpi taivosen yheksän,
läpi reppänän retusen, läpi lapsen kätkyestä.

Mis' on tulta tuuvitettu, valkiaista vaaputettu,
suurella meren selällä, ulapalla aukealla.

Sen nieli siliä siika, uiskenteli, käyskenteli,
tuskissa tulikipunan valkieisen vaakahissa.
Tuli tuska nieliällä vaikia vajottajalla,
uiskenteli käyskenteli, sen nieli halie hauki.
