SKVR textEnglish
Karhua hakiessa luetaan että:
1Nouse pois, nokinen neiti,Rise up, sooty maiden,
2Nokiselta nuotiolta,From the sooty hearth,
3Pihkaselta pään alalta!From the resinous stump's base!
4Nyt on kullan kulkuaika,Now is the golden one's time to go,
5Nyt on kuuset kulta vöissä,Now spruces wear golden belts,
6Haavat kaikki haljakoissa,All aspens in trimmings,
7Varvut vaski renkahissa.Junipers in copper rings.
8Metsolan metinen neiti,Metsola's honeyed maiden,
9Salokaarron kaunis vaimo,Beautiful wife of the thicket-bend,
10Vaimo valkien verevä,Wife ruddy among birches,
11Tule piikasi pitoihin,Come to your maid's feast,
12Tule häihen häkkösesi,Come to your little wedding,
13Villapään vihkijäisihin!To the woolly-head's nuptials!
