SKVR textEnglish
1Tuli on nuorin tyttäristä,Fire is the youngest of the daughters,
2Ves' on vanhin vell'eksistä,Water is the oldest of the brothers,
3Raut' on kerran keskimmäińi,Iron was once the middle one,
4Paju puista, mätäs maista,Willow among trees, mound among lands,
5Korppi ilman lintuloista,Raven of the sky's birds,
6Kiiski on vejen kaloista.Burbot is of the waters' fishes.
