SKVR textEnglish
1Muut ne hiihtävät hikeh,Others they ski [with] sweat,
2Minä hiihän hiljalleh,I ski into quietness,
3Verkkaselleh vetelen,To Verkkaselle I pull myself,
4Salakättä sauvaelen.With hidden hand I pole along,
- - -
6Muien siimojen sivutse,Along the sides of others' snares,
7Muien ansojen alatse.Beneath others' traps.
