SKVR textEnglish
Kun lapsi sairastuu, tahtoo tietäjä saada selville, onko se silmäyksistä vai suuteluista johtunut. Sitävarten kylvettää hän lasta, loitsien:
1Tule, Luoja, loitsemaan,Come, Creator to chant,
2Jumala, puhelemaan,God to speak,
3ken lienee katehin katsont,who might be the envious watchers,
4kiirin silmin keksint.with gleaming eyes detecting,
5Piässä, Luoja, piässä, luonto.In the mind, Creator in the mind, essence.
6piässä, piällinen Jumala,in the mind, supreme God,
7noissa pahoissa päivissä,in these wicked days,
8isän, emän ajatuksissa,in father's, mother's thoughts,
9mieron mussan ajatuksissa,in dark grief's thoughts,
10ken lienee katehin katsont,who might be the envious watchers,
11kiirin silmin keksint!with gleaming eyes detecting!
