Can someone please translate these Finnish lyrics? (Eriskummainen Kantele)?

Those are the real liars.

Their saying is empty.

They value and call,

the music of the kantele

as it was carved by old Väinämöinen

as a picture of God

From the shoulders of the great pike

From the hook bones of that water dog

Music is made from sorrows

Shaped from sad thoughts

Shell from the hard days

Keel from the ever wretched

Strings are collected from irritations

Nails from other obstacles

Therefore my kantele does not play

It does not rejoice at all

Play/music not for favor

don’t give quality pleasure

for it is a picture of sorrow

shaped by sad feelings

This is very raw translation made by me. Sorry

Eriskummainen kantele (The bizarre kantele)

Ne varsin valehtelevat, (Those indeed tell lies)

tuiki tyhjeä panevat, (are saying just empty words)

jotka soittoa sanovat, (those who judge the playing)

arvoavat kanteletta (claiming the kantele)

Väinämöisen veistämäksi, (being crafted by Väinämöinen)

Jumalan kuvoamaksi, (woven by the God)

hauin suuren hartioista, (out of a great pike's shoulders)

veen koiran koukkuluista. (from the crooked bones of a water dog)

Soitto on suruista tehty, (But no, music is made from grief)

murehista muovaeltu: (and moulded from sorrow)

koppa päivistä kovista, (-- its belly out of hard days)

emäpuu ikipoloista, (its soundboard from endless woes)

kielet kiusoista kerätty, (its strings gathered from torments)

naulat muista vastuksista. (and its pegs from other ills.)

Sentä ei soita kanteleeni, (Therefore my kantele will not play)

ei iloitse ensinkänä, (nor will rejoice at all)

soitto ei soita suosioksi, (music will not play to please)

laske ei laatuista iloa, (give off the right sort of joy)

kun on huolista kuvattu, (for it was fashioned from worries)

murehista muovaeltu. (moulded from sorrow)

My Kantele Lyrics

Wow, you had someone to translate this already but I just wanted to comment that you've found a song in old Finnish here, in kalevala Finnish I would think. Nice one

"vakavanha väinämöinen, tietäjä iän-ikuinen"
