SKVR textEnglish
1Kylvi soita, kylvi maita,Sowed the wetlands, sowed the lands,
2Kylvi auhtoja ahoja,Sowed the desolate burnt glades,
- - -
4Kummut kylvi, kuuset kasvo,Sowed the knolls, spruces sprouted,
- - -
6Läksi lännys kasvamahan,The slope began to grow,
7Vesa nuori nousemahan,The young sapling started rising,
8Puu puhas ylenemähän.The straight tree to tower upward.
