SKVR textEnglish
Yskä paranee, kun luetaan:
1Yškä, toppa, räit'in poika,Yshkä, stallion, speckled son,
2Elä šie kovin ryvitä!Don't you strut so proudly!
3Mie šiun šylen šyteh,I'll ignite your back,
4Panen paška-rait'in piähä,I'll put a dung-striped [thing] on your head,
5Kusinurkan nuol'ijakše,As a licker of the piss-corner,
6Panen paškan tonkijakše.I'll set dung as your digging-task.
("Tehot̮t̮iu, kun halteissah hyppiy").
