SKVR textEnglish
Painaisen loihtu:
1"Panin minä painaisen pahtaaseen,I placed the oppressive one into the rock,
2selät seinäks, kynnet kynnyksiks;backs as walls, claws as thresholds;
3kivet liikku, moat jätis,stones shifted, earth stiffened,
4kuusen juuretki kumus,even spruce roots upturned,
5vuoret vaskiset vapis,copper mountains quaked,
6tämän noian noituissa,during this sorcerer's spellcasting,
7tämän lapin laittaessa,as this Sámi arranged [his magic],
8tämän velhon vetäessä.as this wizard drew [power].
9Onko noitia norossa,Are there sorcerers in the narrows,
10velhoja joka veräällä?wizards at every gate?
11Ompa noitia norossa,There *are* sorcerers in the narrows,
12velhoja joka veräällä.wizards at every gate.
13Onko noiat nuolissaan,Are the sorcerers in their arrows,
14velhot veihtirauoissaan?wizards in their iron-twists?
15Ompa noiat nuolissaan,The sorcerers *are* in their arrows,
16velhot veihtirauoissaan.wizards in their iron-twists.
