Metsän vanhin kuusijätti, laholatva taivaassa. Neulaset jo karanneet on<br>
onton miehen oksista. Tuimailme naavanaama nojaa kohti lounasta.<br>
Kulttuuria, sivistystä kaupunkia kasvavaa...<br>
Kiskoo irti juuret maasta, puree puista hammasta. Nyt saa riittää<br>
horros, pois pihkat silmäkulmista!<br>
Se tanssii yli parkkitalon,<br>
tallaa kunnanviraston.<br>
Kaataa piipun sellutehtaan,<br>
jälkeen jättää rovion...<br>
Katsoo hetken ympärilleen, rykii pölyt keuhkoista. Harjaa hilseen<br>
hartioilta, jatkaa päivätansseja...<br>
Tuimailme naavanaama suuntaa kohti koillista; kulttuuria, sivistystä,<br>
kaupunkia kasvavaa..</p>

The oldest spruce-giant of the forest, rotten-top in the sky.<br>
Needles have already escaped from the branches of the hollow man.<br>
Sharp-expressioned lichen-face leans toward the southwest.<br>
Cultures, civilization, cities growing...<br>
He pulls roots loose from the ground, bites with a wooden tooth.<br>
Now the torpor gets to be enough, resin out of the corners of the eyes!<br>
He dances over the bark(?) house, tramples the local office.<br>
He knocks down the chimney of a cellulose(?) factory, leaves behind a stake...<br>
He looks around for a moment, clears the dust from his lungs.<br>
He brushes the dandruff from his shoulders, continues his daily dances...<br>
Sharp-expressioned lichen-face heads toward the northeast;<br>
cultures, civilization, cities growing...</p>

<b><u>Comments</b></u><br>
The basis for the song's inclusion on this list is a remark by Johanna Vainikainen in <i>Legolas</i> (April 1992) that the song features "an obvious Ent." The translation makes this seem doubtful to me. Any other opinions? I believe Kersantti Petteri" is the stage-name of one of the band members. I think their web site mentions something about him having worked as a forester...</p>
