SKVR textEnglish
Ähkyn sanat.
1Ähky yksi äyrämöinen,A grievance against the Äyrämöinen,
2Ähky toinen tohramoinen,A second grievance against the Tohramoinen,
3Mene sinne kuhunka käsken:Go there where I command:
4Ilman ilkeimmille,To the most wicked ones,
5Maho uuhen makkarollen.To the young ewe's sausage-belly,
6Elles mene pikemmin,If you don't go swiftly,
7Niin et saa mitään.Then you'll get nothing.
