Kullerwoinen, wizard-servant / Of the blacksmith, Ilmarinen, / Purchased slave from Untamoinen, / Magic son with sky-blue stockings, / With a head of golden ringlets, / In his shoes of marten-leather, / Waiting little, asked the blacksmith, / Asked the host for work at morning, / In the evening asked the hostess, / These the words of Kullerwoinen:
"Give me work at early morning, / In the evening, occupation, / Labor worthy of thy servant."
