SKVR textEnglish
Ihmistä "piäštiässä" l'iijoista.
(Luetaan sairašta kylvettäissä. Luetaan lempeästi, vain "kuin ei alkane liijat läht'ie, niin šuapi šiäntyö").
1Neit̮yt Muarie emońi,Virgin Mary, my mother,
2Rakaš äit̮i armol'l'ińi,Dear mother, merciful one,
3Puhašmuoto muori kaunis,Pure-formed, noble beauty,
4Tule kynsin kynnykšillä,Come crawling to the thresholds,
5Polvin porštuon ovilla,On knees at the porch doors,
6Tule päitä piäštämäh,Come to save our lives,
7Henkijä lunaštamah,To redeem our spirits,
8Jott' ei piät pahoin mäńis',Lest our lives meet ruin,
9Henget huokehin šopis'!Spirits rest in ease!
10Jo tulla tytyttelöy,Now comes the Satisfied One,
11Kuuš' on kuppie kiäššä,Six cups in hand,
12Seit̮t̮emen šelän takana,Seven behind the back,
13Kušš' on mettä, kušš' on vettä,Where there is honey, where there is water,
14Kušš' on voit'iet vakaset,Where butter rests in vessels,
15Joll' on Luoja voijeltuna,Where the Creator is anointed,
16Kat̮ottuna KaikkivaltaSheltered by the Almighty,
17Pilatukšen piinatešša,In corruption's torment,
18Pahan vallan vaivatessa.Under evil's oppression.
Taika tehuou, kun tämän taikaa tehdessä lukee.
