《卡勒瓦拉》是芬兰的民族史诗。医生隆洛特（1802—1884）走遍芬兰东部和卡累利阿的村子，把农民口口相传的古老歌谣一首首记下来，1835年出版了初版，1849年又扩充成50篇的定本。这个故事在定本的第二篇里。

The Kalevala is the national epic of Finland. The doctor Elias Lonnrot (1802–1884) traveled through the villages of eastern Finland and Karelia, writing down the old songs that farmers passed on by word of mouth. He published the first edition in 1835 and expanded it into a final edition of 50 poems in 1849. This story is in the second poem of the final edition.

隆洛特给初版写序的日子是2月28日，后来这一天成了芬兰的「卡勒瓦拉日」，也叫芬兰文化日，这天芬兰会挂国旗庆祝。芬兰作曲家西贝柳斯（1865—1957）根据《卡勒瓦拉》写了许多乐曲。

Lonnrot signed the preface of the first edition on February 28, and that day later became Kalevala Day in Finland, also called the Day of Finnish Culture, when flags are flown across the country. The Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) wrote many pieces of music based on the Kalevala.
