SKVR textEnglish
Kiroille.
1Räkkikoira rekkorinta,Ragged dog, broad-chested one,
2Tuon mie linnassa lihotinI fattened it in the fortress,
3Syömää kylän kirroi,To eat the village's scraps,
4Syömää koin kiroja,To eat the moth's curses,
5Koin luita lonkkumaa.To gnaw the moth's bones.
6Moaria, pyhä emäntä,Moaria, holy mistress,
7Tule tänne tarpeheks!Come here for the need!
8Tuo sie puita tullessais,Bring wood as you come,
9Tuo sie puita, tuo sie tulta!Bring wood, bring fire!
10Lämmitä metoinen saunaHeat the honeyed sauna
11Metoisill' metsän puilla!With the forest's honeyed trees!
12Taita vasta villevoinenPrepare now, leafy one,
13Kohehista koivuloista,From the swaying birches,
14Kolmikannan koivuloista,From three-trunked birches,
15Mill' sie voiat voikkavii,With which you heal ailments,
16Parantelet parkuvii!Cure the weeping ones!
17Tie sisästä terveheksi,Make the inside healthy,
18Peält tuntemattomaksi.The surface unrecognizable.
