SKVR textEnglish
Siikanen.
1Siikanen sinun nimesi,Little Whitefish is your name,
2Pyhä rikka, pellon rikka,Holy Spider, Field's Spider,
3Kakarasta kiehitetty!Concocted from a sprout!
4Älä mää synkkään saloon,Do not go to the gloomy forest,
5Salo synkkä sylkivyyn,Forest gloomy and spitting,
6Älä mää lietoon mereen,Do not go to the murky sea,
7Meri lieto lietuvoon.Sea murky and mud-stirring.
