I LES BOOTUR 2 1

Beautiful and shine,
Of about forty miles wide
Mirror-like surface
Of Tuimaarytta-lake,
Just on the crest,
On the smooth center
A great dwelling is seen,
Sparks brightening,
Smoke floating,
Glittering from the distance.
A trot running for seven days
Didn’t get to its well-kept yard,
A pacer running for nine days
Didn’t get to a frozen ground,
Hail and shower didn’t stop,
Bullfinches didn’t sit down
On the bright white yard.
Just in the center
Of this bright and wide
Well-cleaned yard
Three tall and stately
Weighty serges4
Are installed
Reminding you of people
Uttering distinctly
Words in a low voice
Being backbone of life.
The first serge
Has winding ornament,
Bubbling eagle on its top.
The second serge
Has carved ornament,
Cooing turtle-dove on its top.
The third serge
Has beautiful ornament,
Crying cuckoo on its top.
Long and strong fence
Surrounds the back yard
To feed heavily its cattle.
It has a wide enclosure
