SKVR textEnglish
Lapsen kylpy.
1Piäst, piäst, Jumala,Save, save, God,
2Hellittele, Herra Jesus!Have mercy, Lord Jesus!
3Piäst, piäst pyörinäst,Save from the spinning,
4Silmiist vipajaviistFrom eye-tremblings,
5Siallee seisomaa,To a place to stand,
6Kohallee katsomaa,To a spot to gaze,
7Ves maaha vieremää,Let water roll to earth,
8Laps ylös kasvamaa!Let the child grow upward!
