SKVR textEnglish

Paljain jaloin viikatteen terällä käyminen.

Piti sanoa:

1Et sinä rauta raukka silloin häävi ollut,"You, iron wretch, were not yet capable then,"

2Kun sinä neitseen seimes maitona makasit."when you lay as milk in the maiden's seimi,"

3Ei täs Kristus ristinpuussa,"Christ is not here on the cross,"

4Ei täs maito maahan jouda."milk does not reach the ground here."

5Kirottu olet, jossas puret."Cursed are you, where you bite."

Jos joku toinen "noita" tulee paikalle ja sanoo:

6Misäs, koira, hampahas on,"Where, dog, are your teeth,"

tunkee terä heti luihin asti.
