Kalman vihat.

1Kalman isännätMasters of the Grave

2I kalman emännät,O Mistresses of the Grave,

3Suuri sugukunta,Great kin-clan,

4Helie heimokunta,Holy kindred-tribe,

5Noskaa tänne minu tarvitessa,Rise here at my time of need,

6Hädä aigoa buudajessa!In the dire hour of summoning!

7Lienen mie mitä pahoa tehnyt,If I have done any wrong,

8Prostikko hän N.N.May he/she [N.N.] forgive it,

9Lienen ollut paganoissaIf I have consorted with pagans,

10Elikä lienen kironnutNor have I cursed,

11Elikä lienen mi pöllästyt!Nor startled any being!

Siidä otat, ristit silmät a molit, voa et pagise, î kumarrud kolme kerdoo moa soaten, i sillä se asie selviää.
