SKVR textEnglish
Ähkyn sanat.
1Ähky puhku puhmarista,The groaning beam [is made] from thicket wood,
2Selkä tehty seipähistä,The ridge is crafted from posts,
3Lattia laudan palaasista,The floor from board fragments,
4Sivuseinä sirkan luista,The side wall from splintered rods,
5Peräseinä pernun luista,The rear wall from linden rods,
6Oviseinä omenapuista.The door wall from apple trees.
