SKVR textEnglish
Vaimojen runo.
1Neitsyt Maria armollinen,Virgin Mary, merciful one,
2Rakas äiti armollinen,Beloved mother, gracious one,
3Tule tänne tarvitessa,Come here in time of need,
4Käy tänne kutsuessa,Approach here when summoned,
5Hätähisen huutaessa,At the cry of distress,
6Pakkohisen parkuessa!At the weeping of compulsion!
7Jouvu pois joven takoa,Remove the river's forged yoke,
8Ota kiiskiltä kinoa,Take the net from the perch,
9Matehelta maljaskoa,From the burbot, the dragnet,
10Millä voijat sumpsan suuta,With which I butter-seal the mouth,
11Kieltä kesselin livotat!Loosen the kettle's tongue!
12Päässä maalle matkamiestä,Release the traveler to land,
13Pieni sormista pihalle!Let the small one from fingers to yard!
