SKVR textEnglish
1Laseta vävön oro,Release the son-in-law's stall,
2Pieti pystykabieKeep the upright hoof-post,
3Toaton puhtahill' pihoilla!On the house's pristine yards!
4Lasetelkaa vävön oroAll of you, release the son-in-law's stall,
5Lähimmillä lähtiellä,At the closest pathway,
6Kultasista valjahista!From the golden harnesses!
7Pankaa vävyn oroPlace the son-in-law's stall
8Tallihi takimaiseh,Into the stable's farthest corner,
9Soimehe sopimmaiseh!Into the most fitting feeding trough!
10Soppiseinä sorsanluine,A jointed wall with duck bones,
11Sivusein' on sirkulluine,The side wall is with bunting bones,
12Lagi lahnan suomuksista,The ceiling from ide-fish scales,
13Kamo on kalovan luista.The beam is of whale's bones.
