SKVR textEnglish
Häissä, ku lähetää matkaa:
- - -
2Eikä vennon veitsirauat.Nor the brother's knife blades.
3Tuos on tuo tuline hursti,There is that fiery steed,
4Eikä venhon veitsirauat.Nor the brother's! Knife blades.
5Antaa männä matkamiehen,Let the traveler go,
6Lemmingäisen leyhytellä,Let Lemmingäinen waft,
7Päästäh Päivölän pitoh,Release to Päivölä's feast,
8Jumalisten juominkih.To the gods' drinking.
9Kun on tiellä työnnytetty,When one is thrust aside on the road,
10Ei o tiellä tekemis,There is no deed on the road,
11Eikä kylläsä kysymiist.Nor a question for the sated.
[Ks. Kosiomiehen sanoja.]
