SKVR textEnglish
1Jeesukse veri punane,Jesus's blood, red,
2Maaria makia maito,Mary's sweet milk,
3Jeesus pilvistä putosiJesus fell from the clouds,
4Kultaisella kirveellä,With a golden axe,
5Vaskisella varpuella.With a bronze rod,
6Päästä Jeesus, päästä Luoja,Save us, Jesus, save us, Creator,
7Päästä Luoja luonnolla!Save us, Creator, through nature!
