SKVR textEnglish

Hivellyksen sanat.

1Kristus kirkkohon ajeli,Christ rode to the church,

2Maria messuhun mateliMaria made her way to mass,

3Hiirikolla hevoisella,On a Hiirikko horse,

4Lohen mustan muotosella;In the form of a black salmon;

5Hiveltyipä hevosen jalkaThe horse’s leg was chafed,

6Kivehen astuisansa;When it stepped on a stone;

7Kristus maahan ratsahistaChrist dismounted to the ground,

8Suonia sovittelemahanTo mend the veins,

9Ja jäseniä sitelemähänAnd bind the limbs,

10Sisältä kivuttomaksi,To make [them] painless within,

11Päältä tuntumattomaksi.Undetectable outwardly.

Jalan ympäri sidotaan kolmenmoista lankaa yhdeksään solmuun niin, että selkiävät kun vetää.
