about

From Kalevala's second edition of 1849. The creating hero Väinämöinen suits the poetic beginning: he is a Demiurg, creator of land and trees, who
arises from the water. His name originates from the word väinä, a broad gulf. The primal voices (Urstimmen) reflect his heroic deeds. When he ascends into the stomach of his living dead ancestor, the shaman Antero Vipunen, to find three magical words claiming to change the world, he strives in this labyrinth and hell like the other primal heroes, Heracles, Theseus and Jesus Christ.

lyrics

Then the old Vainamoinen
put this into words:
'If no one else will
come and sing with me
I will launch into poems
and burst out singing alone:
since I've been made a singer
and turned out a reciter
I'll not ask others the way
a stranger to start a tale.'
(The Kalevala, Oxford Edition)
