SKVR textEnglish
1Stoppi, villo vellyeni,Stop, wild brother of mine,
2Piätä pystykabio,Hold up the upright hat,
3Laseta laukkiotšaRelease the wolf-browed one,
4Keällä kindahattomalla,With a gloveless hand,
5Sormella nimettömällä!With a nameless finger!
6Nosta korja korjan perästä,Lift the vessel after the vessel,
7Hyvä laglo laibiosta!Good beam from the storehouse!
-
9Morzien, sisarueni,Brides, my sisters,
10Kabulehti, laglueni,Cabbage leaf, my beam,
11Loai meille tervehys,Grant us health,
12Loai meillä, loai muilla,Grant us, grant others,
13Loai kaikella kylällä!Grant the whole village!
14Morsioin, sisarueni,Brides, my sisters,
15Jo teällä tänägi huomen'Already today-tomorrow,
16Sintšo siivo keänteleks',Sintšo neatly turns,
17Siivo kahta morsienta,Neatly two brides,
18Keägäne kätšertelekseThe ring encircles,
19Sormus kättä suorioo,The ring straightens the hand,
20Kynnys kyllin keändelekseThe threshold turns enough,
21Hieno helma heilahusta,Fine hem from the swing,
22Pertti pelmun keändelekse,Pertti turns the garment,
23Pelmu kahta morzienda.Garment of two brides.
24Morzien, sisoriseni,Brides, my sister,
25Kabolehti, lagluoni,Cabbage leaf, my beam,
26Kuules teällä, kuin sanotaa,Listen how it is said,
27Kielin toisin kerdoalla:In other tongues retold:
28Teäl' on eikkun emoses koissa,You have a window in your mother’s house,
29Toisin toisessa talossa,Elsewhere in another house,
30Toisin moalla vierahalla.Elsewhere on foreign soil.
31Morzien, sisarueni,Brides, my sisters,
32Noua mieli nuoren miehen,Raise the young man’s mind,
33Ugodi hyvän urohon:Persuade the good hero:
34Ei käy käzi korvan peällä.Let no hand hover over the ear,
35Sinizemä silmän alla!Bluer under the eye!
36Morzien, sisarušeni,Brides, my sibling,
37Kabulehti, lagluoni,Cabbage leaf, my beam,
38Moatu kansan voittamine,Bending the people’s will,
39Alahaks kumardamine,Bowing down low,
40Hyvän lalijan lahjomine.Gifting the good speaker,
41Armo sanan andamine.Granting merciful words.
42Morzie, sisarušeni,Bride, my sibling,
43Kabulehti, lagluoni,Cabbage leaf, my beam,
44Elä viiy vesitiellä,Don’t linger on the waterway,
45Elä kao kaivotiellä,Don’t vanish on the well-path,
46Tule tuulen tšiuhkurina,Come as the wind’s gust,
47Mäne tuulen viuhkurina!Go as the wind’s whirl!
48Morzien, sisarušeni,Brides, my sibling,
49Pitkät on pihlajat pihalla,Long are the rowans in the yard,
50Pität varvat pihlajissa,Long branches on the rowans,
51Ne on kai siu varoil.They guard you well.
52Aivuin mängy aigarusko,With wit, play the dawn,
53Djorahutti sormidjuottaThe jeweler’s finger-rings,
54Aigavihkon andajaista,Givers of the eternal sheaf,
55Heinävihkon heittäjäistä,Throwers of the hay sheaf,
56Palalla parendajaista.Menders with a flame.
