SKVR textEnglish
1Neitsyt Moarie emoinen,Virgin Mary, mother,
2Pyhä piika pikkarainen,Holy little maiden,
3Kobuo kossesta kivet,Gather stones from the rapids,
4Puita muurehettomia,Trees without borders,
5Kiviä kivuttomia!Stones without pain!
6Saussuta simainen sauna,Heat the mead-like sauna,
7Lämmitä medinen kylyWarm the honeyed bathhouse
8Medisillä halgosilla!With honeyed logs!
9Taitas on medi vastaSkillful is the honey indeed
10Medisestä metšäsestä!From the honeyed forest!
11Kanna vettä läigötteleCarry water to sprinkle
12Lähisestä lähtiestäFrom the nearby spring,
13Puhtahalla puisiolla,With a clean wooden bowl,
14Jottei huorat huntuja pesis,Lest whores wash veils,
15Pahat vaimot voatteita!Wicked wives [wash] clothes!
16Luo löyly, lähetä lämminCreate steam, send warmth
17Kivisellä kiukuvalla!With the stone stove!
18Elä polta poigias,Do not burn your sons,
19Turmele käsitegoja,Do not ruin handiworks,
20Joga löylyn löytänöö,For every steam found,
21Lämbösen lähentänöö!Warmth brought near!
22Tekkömäs tervehys,Create health,
23Ravakkos iginen rauha,Grant eternal peace,
24Rauha rauvankarvallinen!Peace iron-haired and steadfast!
