KERSKAAVA KUNINGASTHE BOASTING KING
  
Tanssiaiskutsun sain linnaan kuninkaan:I was invited to the King's grandious ball:
"Lähdössä juuri oon kauas sotimaan!” I shall go far away to fight in noble war!
Yksin en tahtoisi sotaa aloittaa" - Kutsun sain.I shall not start a war by being all alone ” - I was there.
  
Tanssiaiskutsun sain linnaan kuninkaan:I was invited to the King's grandious ball:
"Vihollinen hyökkäsi - sen taisin nujertaa!”Under attack we came – I think we beat them all!
Yksin en tahtoisi sitä juhlistaa!" - Kutsun sain.I shall not celebrate by being all alone” – I was there.
  
Tanssiaiskutsun sain linnaan kuninkaan:I was invited to the King's grandious ball:
"Valtaisan voiton sain, sitä juhlitaan!” We got the victory: The finest one – they call!
Yksin en tahtoisi maljaa kohottaa!" - Kutsun sain.I shall not raise a toast by being all alone” – I was there.
  
Tanssiaiskutsun sain linnaan kuninkaan:I was invited to the King's grandious ball:
"Rampoja, rujoja on kaikki sotilaas!I said :”You crippled , lamed Thy soldiers in the war!
Ken ritareistasi neidot tanssittaa?" - Kutsun sain.Who could be well enough to dance me to the dawn?” I was there.
  
Tanssiaiskutsun sain linnaan kuninkaan:I was invited to the King's grandious ball:
"Itsekin neidot voin toki tanssittaa!” I shall be well enough to dance the ladies all!
Leikari valmiina on jo soittamaan!" - Kutsun sain.My troubadour is here waiting for my call.” I was there.
  
Hautajaiskutsun sain linnaan kuninkaan:I was invited to the King's funeral:
"Hengetön kuningas hautaan puetaan.” King passed away, now him for casket dress we shall.”
Ei taistot pystyneet häntä kaatamaan!" - Kutsun sain.Swords could not take his life, nor arrows strike him down. I was there.
  
Tanssivat tyttöset kuoloon kaatoivatLadies so beautiful, escorted him to death.
Viehkeät neitoset häntä saattoivatMaidens so nice and fair finally gave him rest.
Juhlien kuningas vietiin poveen maan - Kutsun sai!With a grandious dance they buried him in the ground. He is there.
