SKVR textEnglish
Ottaen toveriaan kädestä kiini.
1Haka toisehen hakahan,A field into another field,
2Liha toisehen lihahan,Flesh into another flesh,
3Koura toisehen kovahan!A hand into another hard [hand]!
4Ole kiitetty, Jumala,Be praised, God,
5Koska annoit aiallani,Since You gave in my time,
6Ijälläni ilmahutit!In my lifetime, You brought me forth!
7Anna vastaki, Jumala,Grant again, God,
8Toistekki, totine Luoja,Once more, faithful Creator,
9Mieluhusta Mehtolasta,From the pleasant Mehtola,
10Tarkasta Tapiolasta!From the vigilant Tapiola!
