The song is a spell to raise a powerful storm. It calls on the god Ukko and the goddess Akka. Here is a translation of the words, split into two posts.
Oh thou Ukko and thou Akka
Weavers all of winds and weather
Pray I do to mighty masters
Raise a wind and make it whirling
Raise a wind and make it whirling
Make a gale that's great and growing
Tear up tar stumps off the roadside
Pull the pine trees off the lake shore
Break the tops of giant oak trees
Crash their robust roots to splinter.
Oh thou Ukko and thou Akka
Weavers all of winds and weather
Pray I do to mighty masters
Raise a wind and make it whirling
Raise a wind and make it whirling
Make a gale that's great and growing
Tear up tar stumps off the roadside
Pull the pine trees off the lake shore
Break the tops of giant oak trees
Crash their robust roots to splinter.
