SKVR textEnglish
Kal. 30: 147.
1Jonk' on lampi lautasella,Where there is a pond on the flatland,
2Vesi selvä selkäluilla,Water clear upon the backbones,
3Syö se heinät hettehesta,It eats the hay from the sedge,
4Veen pilvestä vetävi,Draws water from the clouds,
5Jos se juomahan mänövi,If it goes to drink,
6(Jos se juomasta tulovi).(If it comes from drinking).
Kal. 30. Joukah.
7On miulla venettä kaksi,I have two boats,
8Miehittä sotia käyvät,With men they go to war,
9Urohitta tappelovat.With heroes they battle.
10Väinämöinen.Väinämöinen.
