SKVR textEnglish
Lapsen itketykseen.
1Immitär nuori neitiThe young maiden, the virgin girl,
2kuto kulta kangasta,wove golden fabric,
3hopiista helkytteli,made silver clink,
4niisijään nosteli;lifted the warp threads;
5kuto tuo karva täkki,wove that shaggy blanket,
6nuoren miehen alla maata,for the young man to lie beneath,
7jotta öillä maata,so he may rest at night,
8päivillä levätä.and repose by day.
Sitte pitää vanhemmat vastakkai yli saunan kynnyksen ja lapsi pujotellaan kummanki reisiin välite, ensin kaksi kertoo yhtäänne ja yksi kerta toisaannepäin (= vastapäivään).
