SKVR textEnglish
1Likuliku tälläsuin,Shaking in this way,
2Värky värkyttälläsäin,Trembling, you caused trembling,
3Jotta en̄en lin̄at liku,So that castles no longer shake,
4Hongat kaiki horjatteli,All pines were made to sway,
5Jäsäniltä maa vapisi.From Jäsäni, the earth trembled,
6Pyy pyrähti, maa järisi,The capercaillie burst forth, the earth quaked,
7Jesuxen syve vapisi.Jesus's abyss trembled,
8Ken̄en suonet sitkiäm̄et?Whose veins are tougher?
9Peuran suonet sitkiäm̄ät.The deer's veins are tougher.
10Ken̄en ko liha makia?Whose flesh is sweet?
11Tarvan on liha makia.The bull's flesh is sweet.
