Open the best chest
slam the bright lid back:
inside are six golden belts
and seven blue skirts
all woven by Kuutar (Moon-daughter)
finished off by Paivatar (Sun-daughter).

'Long since, when I was a maid
and lived as a lass, I went
for berries in the forest
raspberries under the slope.
I heard Kuutar (Moon-daughter) weaving
Paivatar (Sun-daughter) spinning
beside blue backwoods
at the edge of a sweet grove.

I went up to them
I came close, approached;
I began to beg of them
I uttered and said:
"Give, Kuutar (Moon-daughter) of your gold
Paivatar (Sun-daughter) of your silver
to this girl who has nothing
to this child who begs!"

Kuutar (Moon-daughter) gave of her gold
Paivatar (Sun-daughter) of her silver;
I put the gold on my brows
on my head the good silver
and came home a flower
to my father's yards a joy.
