SKVR textEnglish
Hivellyssanat.
Niukahroksiis, kun pannahan suanten lankaa.
1Jesusta kirkkoon ajeles[He] drives Jesus to church
2Hiirikolla hevoosella,With a horse from Hiirikko,
3Lohen mustan muotoosella,In the form of a black salmon,
4Kalan hauven karvaisella;With the hairy [scales] of a pike fish;
5Hiveltyy hevoosen jalkaThe horse's leg is tended to
6Kiven päältä kikkaralta.From the twisted stone's edge.
7Jesus maan rattahilta,Jesus from the land's chariots,
8Suonia sovittaaMends the sinews,
9Ja lihan luita liittelöö.And knits the flesh's bones.
