SKVR textEnglish
Valkian sanat.
1Pitkämöönen tulta iskööPitkämöönen strikes fire
2Keskellä merkiviä,At the center of marked waters,
3Kirjavasta kärmehestä,From the dappled serpent
4Somerosta tuli soiro suuri,From Somero came a great blaze,
5Ilmasta tuli ilman moonen,From the sky came the sky's offspring,
6Valkia nimes, pidä tilas!Bright one, hold your name, keep your stance!
