SKVR textEnglish
1Moarie neitšut emone,Beloved Virgin Mary mother,
2Pühä piika taivahane,Holy heavenly maiden,
3Rakas äid'i armollińe:Merciful dear mother:
4Meholaine ilman lindu!O winged one of the sky!
5Siuda tänne tarvitah;Come here, you are needed;
6Lennä tuonna, kunna kässeṅ:Fly there where I guide:
7Ülittši meren üheksän,Over nine seas,
8Merda puolda kümmenettä,Half of a tenth sea,
9Odamazen olgo-päittši,To the shoulder-head of Odamaz,
10Kuudamazen kulma-luittši,The sixth corner-bone's edge,
11Soarella selällizellä,On the island lying supine,
12Luuolla puuttomalla.On the treeless bone-ridge.
13Siellä mettä keitetähThere honey is brewed
14Kattiloissa kuldazissa,In golden cauldrons,
15Üheṅ sormem mändävissä,In a finger's-width space,
16Peigalom mahuttavissa.In a groom's lap contained.
17Kassa siibez on simah,When wings drip with mead,
18Sulgaz' on sulah voih!Feathers melt in rich oil!
19Meholaine ilman lindu!O winged one of the sky!
20Tuo niidä void'ioja,Bring those healing salves,
21Kuda tänne tarvitah!As required here!
22Jo tuo tulou, tupittelou:Now it comes, now it arrives:
23Sada sarvia selässä,A hundred horns on its back,
24Tuhat kuppie sülissä.A thousand cups in its lap.
25Moarie neitšüt emone,Beloved Virgin Mary mother,
26Pühä piika taivahan,Holy maiden of heaven,
27Rakas äidi armollińe!Merciful dear mother!
28Kuottelebas kielelläzi,Taste with your tongue,
29Maistelebas huulillazi,Sample with your lips,
30N'ämäg' on ńiidä void'iojaThese are the healing salves
31Kuida tüö tarvitšitta,As you demanded,
32Kuilla enneṅ luoja voidi,With which the Creator anointed,
33Voidi Jumalam poiga.Anointed God's own son.
34Kuotteli kielellähe,She tasted with her tongue,
35Maisteli huulillah:Sampled with her lips:
36N'ämä ńüd ńiidä void'ioja,"These now are the salves
37Kuida tänne tarvitah.As needed here."
