Worst of all the death land Woman,
Ugliest of Mannas Children,
Source of all the hoasts of evils,
All the ills of the northlands,
Black in heart and soul and visage,
Evil Genius of Lappala, Made her couch on the wayside,
of the fields of sin and sorrow;
turned her back to the east wind,
To the source of stormy weather,
To the Chilling winds of morning.
When the winds arose in the morning,
Heavy Laden became Lowyatar,
Through the east wind's inpregnation,
on the sand plains, vast and barren,
Long she bore her weight of trouble,
Many morns she suffered anguish,
Till at last she left the desert,
Makes her couch within the forest,
On a rock apon a mountain,
She labored hard to leave her burden,
By the mountain springs and fountains,
by the crystal waters flowing,
By the sacred streams and whirlpool, by the cateract and fire streams,
But her burden did not lighten.
Blind Lowyatar,old and Ugly, new not where to look for succor,
How to lose her wieght of sorrow,
where to lay her children. then spake the highest of the heavens,
In a triangle in the swamp fields,
neer the borders of the ocean,
in the never pleasant south, in the dismal fens,
Thither go and lay thy burden,
In the fens leave thy offspring, There the laplanders await thee,
there will bid your children welcome.
Thereapon blind Lowyatar,
Blackest Daughter of Tuoni,
Manas oldest and ugliest maiden,
Hastened on her journy southward,
To the Chamber of Fen,
To the ancient halls,
there to lay her heavy burden,
There to leave her evil offspring.
Old and toothless witch fen ,
Takes Lowyatar to her swamp,
Spake these measures to lowyatar,
Faithfull daughter of creation,
Thou most beutifull of woman,
first and last of the anchient mothers,
Haisten on the feet to the center of the oceans,
Take the see foam from the waters,
Take the honey of the mermaids,
and anoint thy sacred members,
That thy labors may be lightened.
