SKVR textEnglish
[Karjaa uloslaskiessa.]
-- -- -- Sillä aikaa istuu isäntä haasian seitsemännellä riu'ulla vanha kirves kädessä ja pauhaa:
1Pois sus, pois karhu,Away wolf, away bear,
2Pois pedot, pois penikat,Away beasts, away small predators,
3Yks ainut poikk' jalka karjaan jääköön!Let only one single crooked leg remain among the cattle!
[Taikaa.]
