SKVR textEnglish
Sisiliskon jälelle.
1Vangas vinkkahan makasiThe bound one lay creaking/whining,
2Kohti koivuista kokoa,Toward the assembly of birches,
3Vasten varvikkomäkeä,Against the scrub-covered hill,
4Vasten puuta pihjalaista,Against the Pihlaja-rowan tree,
5Pihoilla pinoja pitkin.Along the yards' stacked heaps.
6Tuostapa suku sikisi,From that, the kin did multiply,
7Tuostapa paha panihin.From that, evil into strife was sown.
j.n.e. samoin kuin käärmeelle, sekä manaus että voiteet.
