SKVR textEnglish
1Mikä on pahin piruista?"Which is the worst of the devils?"
2Painainen pahin perkeleistä."Painainen, the worst of the Perkeleet."
3Tuleppa tähän tupaan,"Come now into this cottage,"
4Vetäänny tähän huoneeseen,"Withdraw into this chamber,"
5Täällä sun sulkasi sulaa,"Here your feathers will melt,"
6Höyhenesi heltijää."Your plumes will thaw away."
