Kultapyörätammi describes the island as the center of the world, the world tree, and the wealth bringing Golden Wheel (the Sun).
  Kun minä lauteille nousen Minäpä laulan lammen lummen Meren lummen luikuttelen Loihen pielekset pihalle Tammen keskitanhualle Joka oksalle omenan Omenalle kultapyörän Kultapyörälle käkösen Ja kun käki kukahtaapi Kulta suusta kumpuaapi Vaski leualta valuupi Kevät tuli, käki tuli Kuusistoihin kukkumahan Kuku, kuku kultarinta Kuku yli koko maan! | As I rise to sit on the sauna bench I sing a water lily into the pond I shout out the sea lily Conjure hayracks onto the yard An oak into the center An apple to every branch A golden wheel onto the apple A cuckoo onto the golden wheel And when the cuckoo sings Gold springs forth from its mouth Copper down its chin The spring arrived, the cuckoo came To cuckoo in the spruces Cuckoo, cuckoo golden breast Cuckoo over the whole land! |
