SKVR textEnglish
Ähyn sanat.
1Ähky äyrin poika,Groaning son of the shore's edge,
2koivun kuorista koottu,Assembled from birch's bark,
3metsän valesta valettu.Cast from the forest's deceit,
4Mene pilvisten tyttärille,Go to the cloudy daughters,
5siell' on hevo poikinensa,There stands a horse with her foals,
6mene hevon puosta lappeen!Enter the horse's tree-fragment shelter!
