SKVR textEnglish

Toisen pahantekon paranuxi.

1Tule tunti Jumalasta,Come, knowledge from God,

2Apu suri ihmisistä,Help, great from people,

3Turva luonon tytteristä;Protection from nature's daughters;

4Piästä pästäve Jumala,Save us, save us, God,

5Pästä päivistä pahoista,Save from evil days,

6Hurta hulen hurteista.From the mad wolf's furies.

7Kuolen noita nuolis,May I die from the witch's arrows,

8Velho veti rautois,The sorcerer bound with irons,

9Katte puraisimes;May the roof bite them;

10Mine olen mies väkevä,I am a mighty man,

11Luisten lukkoi repiä,To tear wooden locks,

12Hien portin potkaisia.To kick the stout gate.

13Tule pärkele työs tunteman,Come, devil, to your known work,

14Tekois parantaman;To mend your deeds;

15Lapps itkö, mu päräs murhehtip.Cease weeping, my head has grieved.
