Ukko, deus o supreme,
tu qui pater es caelestis,
nubilorum dominator
aetherisque moderator!
Coetum colligas in nimbis,
agas nubium conventum!
Excites ex ortu nubem,
nimbum erigas ex cauro,
ex occasu quosdam mittas,
ex meridie matures!
Defer pluviam de caelo.
Ukko, supreme god,
you who are the heavenly father,
ruler of the clouds
and moderator of the firmament.
Gather the assembly in the clouds,
lead the gathering of the clouds!Raise a cloud from the east,
send up a cloud from the northwest,
send some from the west,
and from the south make them ripen!
Let rain fall from the sky.
