SKVR textEnglish
Linnunpyytäjän loitsu.
1Muut erijään lukkee,Others tally their own [grounds],
2Saaliita sannoo,declare their spoils,
3Pyyntö on minullakin.I too have my hunt.
4Metän hippa halliparta,Forest's grey-bearded elder,
5Kuninkaan kuulusa mies,the king's famed man,
6Milloinkas minulle annat,When will you grant me [game],
7Kun et minun miessä ollessani,since you weren't in my forest when I was there,
8Minun pyyntö päivinäni.during my days of pursuit?
