	Curses on thee, cruel iron!
	Curses on the steel thou givest!
	Curses on thee, tongue of evil!
	Cursed be thy life forever!
	Once thou wert of little value
	Having neither form nor beauty
	Neither strength nor great importance
	When in form of milk thou rested
	When for ages thou wert hidden
	In the breasts of God's three daughters
	Hidden in their heaving bosoms
	On the borders of the cloudlets
	In the blue vault of the heavens
	Thou wert once of little value
	Having neither form nor beauty
	Neither strength nor great importance
	When like water thou wert resting
	On the broad back of the marshes
	On the steep declines of mountains
	When thou wert but formless matter
	Only dust of rusty colour
	Curses on thee, cruel iron!
	Curses on the steel thou givest!
	Curses on thee, tongue of evil!
	Cursed be thy life forever!
	Surely thou wert void of greatness
	Having neither strength nor beauty
	When the moose was trampling on thee
	When the roebuck trod upon thee
	When the tracks of wolves were in thee
	And the bear paws scratched thy body
	Surely thou hadst little value
	When the skillful Ilmarinen
	First of all the ironworkers
	Brought thee from the blackened swamplands
	Took thee to his ancient smithy
	Placed thee in his fiery furnace
	Truly thou hadst little vigor,
	Little strength, and little danger
	When thou in the fire wert hissing
	Rolling forth like seething water
	From the furnace of the smithy
	When thou gavest oath the strongest
	By the furnace, by the anvil
	By the tongs, and by the hammer
	By the dwelling of the blacksmith
	By the fire within the furnace
	Curses on thee, cruel iron!
	Curses on the steel thou givest!
	Curses on thee, tongue of evil!
	Cursed be thy life forever!
	Now, forsooth, thou hast grown mighty
	Thou canst rage in wildest fury
	Thou hast broken all thy pledges
	All thy solemn vows hast broken
	Like the dogs thou shamest honor
	Shamest both thyself and kindred
	Tainted all with breath of evil
	Tell who drove thee to this mischief!
	Tell who taught thee all thy malice!
	Tell who gavest thee thine evil!
	Tell me! Now tell me!
	Did thy father, or thy mother
	Did the eldest of thy brothers
	Did the youngest of thy sisters
	Did the worst of all thy kindred
	Not thy father, nor thy mother
	Not the eldest of thy brothers
	Not the youngest of thy sisters
	Not the worst of all thy kindred
	But thyself hast done this mischief
	Thou the cause of all our trouble
	Come and view thine evil doings
	And amend this flood of damage
	Curses on thee, cruel iron!
	Curses on the steel thou givest!
	Curses on thee, tongue of evil!
	Cursed be thy life forever!
