SKVR textEnglish
Koin Sanat.
1Koisko juoksi teitä myötenDid Koisko run along the paths?
2Jessus koiskolta kysyi:Jesus asked Koisko:
3Minkä koisko juoksenteletWhy do you run about, Koisko?
4Tänne menen luita luisteleenI come here to make bones glide,
5Lihaa määntään.Flesh to be ground.
6Älä koisko sitä teeDon't do that, Koisko,
7Sillä on tuska tulessaFor there is torment in fire,
8Vaiva suuri valkeassa.Great anguish in the blaze.
