SKVR textEnglish

Loukkaantuneelle pitää olla:

1Pikkusilmäsen pikie,Of the small-eyed tiny one,

2Talven moannehen talie,To winter's earthly dwelling,

3Lihoa lehen alaista,Beneath the fleshy leaf's underlayer,

4Kuuta kuusen juurellista,Of the moon at the spruce's roots,

5Kipeillä voitehikse,As ointment for sore places,

6Vammoilla valinvesikse.As sacred water for wounds.
