SKVR textEnglish
Karhun sanat.
1Nouse, Hiisi, Helvetistä,Rise, Hiisi, from Hell,
2Takaa pohjan Torniosta,From beyond the northern Tornio,
3Läpi puiden, läpi luiden,Through trees, through bones,
4Läpi kirkon kynnystenkin.Even through the church thresholds.
5Juoksepa hyvä hevonen,Run now, good horse,
6Heitä hiitä, heitä jäätä,Shake off frost, cast off ice,
7Heitä rautaista raettaThrow off the iron barrier,
8Seittemännen pilven päältä!From the seventh cloud’s height!
