SKVR textEnglish
"Kylvetös luku".
1Mie kylvötän yöitkuu,I sow night-weeping,
2Liijan itku liikutosta,Excessive weeping from restlessness,
3Kulmii kukitan,I bend the brows,
4Pölkyn piän pyörimään,The log's head to spinning,
5Silmiis vipajammaa.Trembling into your eyes.
6Jo itku pois lapseest.Now let weeping leave the child.
