SKVR textEnglish
1Siikanen sinun nimesi,Little Whitefish is your name,
2Pihan rikka, pellon sonta,Yard's riches, field's fertile dung,
3Pellon päähinen jumala,Field's foremost deity,
4Kummun kultanen orava!Hill's golden squirrel!
5Vastatuuli on männäksesi,A headwind awaits your departure,
6Purjetuuli on tullaksesi.A fairwind guides your return.
