SKVR textEnglish
Kun lapsen soaminen pilautuu, otetah vettä - juoksevaa vettä - joen rannalta ja puhutaan:
1Pani piikasen pakolla,Placed the maiden by force,
2Vaimon vatšan veäntelyllä,With the wrenching of the wife's belly,
3Siell_on mal'litoin matassa.There lies the blameless one in the mire,
4Ota kultanen kurikkaTake the golden crook,
5Hobiaisen orren peästä,From the silvered beam's end,
6Vaski vartesi valitše,Choose the copper shaft,
7Jolla luita lorgottelet,With which you bend the bones,
8Pehmität perälihoja!Soften the hind-flesh!
Vesi juotetaan naiselle ja sillä voidellaan sivuja.
