SKVR textEnglish
a.
1Ahveroinen, siira harja, pyörä korva,Ahveroinen, straight-maned one, wheel-eared one,
2Tule onkee ottamaan,Come to seize the snare,
3Siimoo sivaltamaa,To flick the fishing line,
4Vaski-väkee vääntämään!To twist the bronze folk!
(Kun on tullu ottamaan, mutta ei tule veneeseen asti:)
b.
5Suuremmalla sulkihte,Be locked with the greater,
6Paremmalla palkihte!Be bound by the better!
