SKVR textEnglish
1Usve uuen aisan päästä.SKVR: 9From the tip of the new plow's mist.
2Kynsin kylmähän kivehen,SKVR: 100I clawed into the cold stone,
3Hampahan vesi hakohon,The tooth-like water into the groove,
4Lapin luajalle lahelle,To the shore of Lapin's creator,
5Lakialle lainehille.To Lakia's waves,
6Eikä miehen naisikahan.SKVR: 113And not the man as a woman.
