SKVR textEnglish
Rauvan sanat.
1Tyrttypä ennen tyrman koskiLittle maiden before Tyrma's rapids
2Joortanin kureessa.In Joortani's gorge.
3Voi sinuas rauta raukkaAlas, you iron wretch
4Kun teit tekijälles pahaa.When you harmed your maker.
5Minäpä sun ruokin ruosteheestaI fed you from rust
6Ahjosta ylös ajelinFrom the forge I raised you
7Etsä sillon suuri olluYou weren't mighty then
8Kun sä rieskana ripesit,When you crumbled as flatbread
9Maitona makasitLay as milk
10Nuoren neitosen helmassa.In the young maiden's embrace
