Sung to the tune of Bringing in the Sheaves:
Rolling in the Snow
1. Warming of the sauna, heating of the water,
Carrying of the firewood at Maki Talo;
Waiting for the right heat, and the time of bathing,
We shall come sauna-ing, rolling in the snow.
Refrain:
Rolling in the snow, rolling in the snow,
We shall come sauna-ing, rolling in the snow;
Rolling in the snow, rolling in the snow,
We shall come sauna-ing, rolling in the snow.
2. Rolling in the sunshine, rolling in the shadows,
Fearing neither snow nor winter’s chilling blow;
By the end of steaming, and the sauna ended,
We shall come sauna-ing, rolling in the snow.
3. Going forth with sisu, rolling for the Master,
When the sweating’s over we will always go;
When the sauna’s over, He will give us voima (strength),
We shall come sauna-ing, rolling in the snow.
