A child is born to a fiery snow...

Grew a girl with hay shoes...

Like a young reindeer doe...

Didn't know at her father's home...

When she went to her bridegroom's house...

That she was born a witch...

An evil spirit in her stomach.

Sacrificed at the altar of Kermikkä...

a white reindeer doe...

From there she ran as a mountain reindeer...

Until the moment was at hand...

A lightning impaled the white...

There lay the girl with the hay shoes...

The snowblanket as her cover and a pillow made of snow under her head.

Hey, Pirita, will you come with us?

Look at that!

Hey-oop!

Go, reindeer!

Make way!

Let me through!

Go, go!

Overtake!

Gallop, gallop!

A reindeer is fast, but a wolf is faster.

Got you!

Will you be mine?

Looks like a hunter of she-bears is coming.

We have a merchant and you have a bird. Sell her to us.

Are you serious?

Yes I am.

You can't treat our daughter badly.

I'll do my best.

A great acknowledgement on behalf of the bride and the bridegroom

to you who gave a present to this honorary table.

Heads together... like frogs.

Hello to all the wedding guests...

...and to the memory of the young couple.

There is no more booze.

The bread and the salt are eaten.

Kosha! Go after the reindeer!

Kosha!

Kosha!

Aslak!

Pirita!

Hey!

Pirita!

Hey!

I'll leave this to you as a house reindeer.

It'll grow up to be a beautiful draft animal. Thank you.

Again you leave and who knows when you'll be back. I'll miss you.

The weeks'll go by fast.

Goodbye, my bird.

Come back soon!

Hello.

I knew you'd come.

Love potion?

So a love potion eh?

That's what the young women, and the older ones too, want.

A man of the mountains...

nu-nu-nuu

Well, Tsalkku-Nilla knows how to do it

Herbs from beyond ten mountains, from the streams of ten creeks

lö-lö-lö-löö...

A little bit of death mold, lä-lä-lä-lää...

The testicles of ten deer. Nu-nu-nu-nuu...

The strength of ten deer! Nu-nu-nu-nuu...

Tsalkku-Nilla is such a seer

that he brings the lost reindeer back home too.

Tsalkku-Nilla is a great seer, brings the dead back from their graves too.

You must sacrifice to the great altar the first living thing that you encounter on your way home.

Then can no man resist you.

Yet this winter you... you...

Continue!

You must sacrifice to the great altar the first living thing...

Living thing...

Pirita, hey! Catch!

I missed you and came to visit home.

The first living thing...

Good day.

Where is Aslak?

I want to see him.

He should be over there at the resting point.

Aslak has a fine-looking woman.

You bet.

Aslak left with Tauno to hunt reindeer (almaa hiihtämään).

Found fresh tracks from the Pais mountain.

Stay here for the night, he may come back soon.

Then no man can resist you...

A wild reindeer.
