SKVR textEnglish

1Ei ole sitä hevoista,There is no such horse,

2Ku mun huoleni vetäisi,As if my sorrow would pull,

3Mureheni kiinnittää;Fasten my grief;

4Äiä on huolta huostassani,Abundance of sorrow is in my hold,

5Ajatusta vyöni alla,Thoughts under my belt,

6Ilman linkin lekkumatta,Without a chain dangling,

7Vempelen värisemättä.The adornment unshaken.

8Kannas, korppi, kaihojani,Crow, raven, my yearnings,

9Mureheni, musta lintu,My grief, black bird,

10Lampih kalattomah,To a fishless pond,

11Aivan ahvenettomah!Utterly perchless!

12Kun kannat kalalliseh,When you bear to the fisher,

13Kalat ne kaikki huolestuu,All the fish grow troubled,

14Ahvenet alas mänöö.The perch descend below.
