SKVR textEnglish

1Ei oo miulla niinkuin muilla,I do not have like others,

2Niinkuin muilla ihmisillä,Like other people have,

3Sanan armo antajaista,Of the givers of the word's grace,

4Suun sulo puhelijaista,Of the speakers with sweet mouths,

5Kysyjäistä kynnyksellä,Of questioners at the threshold,

6Lausujaista lattialla,Of declarers on the floor,

7Tässä ilmassa isoa,In this vast world,

8Tällä rannalla rakasta,On this cherished shore,

9Tällä niemellä neuvojaista,On this headland of advisors,

10Tällä puolla puolisoista.On this side of spouses,

11Surma tappo sulhasein,Death slew the grooms,

12Kova onni kohtaloin,Cruel fate with destinies,

13Kalma kansakumppalini.Death my people-companion.
