SKVR textEnglish
1Jeesus kirkkoo männööJesus goes to the church
- - -
3Mustan hauvin muotosella.In the form of a black grave/pike
4Jeesus liikku, maa järähti,Jesus moved, the earth shook,
5Maa järähti, pyy pyrähti.The earth shook, the hazel grouse burst into flight.
6Jeesus maahan rattahilta;Jesus [fell] to the ground from the wagon;
7Nois' lihoi liittämää(n),He rose to mend the flesh,
8Suoniia sorittamaa(n).To repair the veins.
9Kui sai lihat liitetyks',When the flesh was joined,
10Suonet soritetuks',The veins were restored,
11Jeesus jällee soittamaa(n).Jesus proceeded onward again.
