Original lyrics
Verjvirta
Yli sillan paenajaesen laella väkisin vyöryy
kasakkalaamat keisarin
vartiosta vettäävyttäävä on,
varustuksiin Linnan talon
Kuuven tuuman kuulat kyntää hyökkeejien rivistöö,
vitjakuula miehet katkoo,
ratkoo, katkoo, jatkaa matkoo,
makkoo, muassa makkoo, juoksoo pakkoon
Pakottaa pohjan poejat
urraata huutavat karkeloejat
lahtipenkkiin sillan etteen
läekkyy verj virran vetteen
valluu verj Koljonvirtaan
ee oo verellä muuta virkoo
verj, verj, verj virtoo
verj, verj, verj virtoo
Terree tarjoo turman tuojat
Savon sissit surman suojat
lahtipenkkiin sillan etteen
läekkyy verj virran vetteen
valluu verj Koljonvirtaan
ee oo verellä muuta virkoo.

Blood Stream
The Cossack hordes of the emperor rush over the bridge
By force, like a nightmare
We have to pull back from the patrol
To the entrenchments of Linna’s house1
Six-inch cannon balls mow down the attackers’ columns,
A chain-shot cuts the men in half,
Rips, breaks, continues on,
Lies, lies on the ground, runs away
The men of the north force
The cheering frolickers
On the slaughtering bench in front of the bridge
Blood spills into the water of the stream,
Blood runs into Koljonvirta2
Blood has no other use
Blood, blood, blood flows
Blood, blood, blood flows
The bringers of ruin offer a blade,
Savonia’s guerillas, the givers of death
On the slaughtering bench in front of the bridge
Blood spills into the water of the stream,
Blood runs into Koljonvirta
Blood has no other use
