2armonsa katosten alla,their grace beneath the roofs,

3minun on turva tuuliajolla,my refuge is on the wind's course,

4ahavalla armoseni.my grace upon the biting wind.

5Aina noita ja useinAlways those ones, and often,

6on viatta virkkajia,there are faultless word-weavers,

7sysijiä aivan syyttä,accusers wholly without cause,

8ei oo suun sulin puhelijoa,there's no speaker of fluent words,

9sanan armon antajoa,no giver of the word's grace,

10kyll' on kylmin haastajoitathere are plenty who speak coldly,

11ja pahon pakisijoita.and evil prattlers.
