Original lyrics
Verenseisaattaja
Piäty verj vuotamasta, hurme huppelehtimasta
piälleni päräjämästä, riuskahtelemasta rinnoilleni
Huuvan hiijestä pattoo, helevetistä kattilata,
jolla verta keetettään suonenpiätä kuivataan
Seiso verj niinku seinä, asu hurme aejan laella
ku miekka meressä seiso, saraheinä sammaleessa
Puasi pellon pientareessa, kivi koskessa kovassa,
virstantoloppa helevetissä, raatakanki kalliossa
Tuoppa turve tuvan takkoo, sammal saanan seinän alta,
ettei hurme hukkaan juokse, verjmaeto muahan kuavu
Puasi pellon pientareessa, kivi koskessa kovassa,
virstantoloppa helevetissä, raatakanki kalliossa
Ettei huava happaneisi, salapoo verjsaatteelle
ettei hurme hukkaan juokse, verjmaeto muahan kuatus

Translation
A Bloodstopper
Wound, stop bleeding, blood, stop flowing,
Spilling all over me, spreading on my chest
I scream for a pot from abyss, for a pan from hell
With which blood will be boiled, veins will be closed1
Blood, stand like a wall, live on top of a fence,
Stand like a sword in a sea, like a sedge in moss
A boulder by a field, a rock in fierce rapids,2
A milestone in hell, an iron bar in a rock
Bring me peat behind the house, moss by the sauna's wall,
So that blood won't go to waste, won't get spilled on the ground
A boulder by a field, a rock in fierce rapids,
A milestone in hell, an iron bar in a rock
So that the wound wouldn't fester, a latch on it,
So that blood won't go to waste, wouldn't get spilled on the ground

Bloodstopping refers to a folk practice in which bleeding is stopped, in this case, with a spell (specific/powerful words). Very similar texts have been used in Finland and one of them can be found in Kalevala.
