SKVR textEnglish
Lutikalle:
1Lutikka, latikan poika,Lutikka, son of Latikka,
2Kohin seinäh, selin vierahah:Press against the wall, turned from the stranger:
3Anna moata moatakseni,Give earth to be my earth,
4Lepuuta levätäkseniGrant rest for me to rest,
5Tämän kunnahan kukulla,On this honored hill's crest,
6Tämän harjun hartehilla,On this ridge's broad shoulders,
7Tämän lanton peälaella!On this field's open surface!
8Anna moata moan luvalla,Give earth with the earth's permission,
9Moan luvalla, puun luvalla,Earth's permission, tree's permission,
10Muarie makauttamah,To let the earth-mother savor,
11Jumalaińi nostamah!To raise my gods aloft!
