SKVR textEnglish
Ajoksen sanat.
1Jos oot ajos,If you are in harness,
2Niin alene,Then lower yourself,
3Jos oot paisuma,If you are swelling,
4Niin pakene,Then flee,
5Jos sä kasvat,If you grow,
6Niin kasvaThen grow
7Paljon, paljon paksummaksi,Much, much thicker,
8Tuonen kirkon korkuiseksi.To the height of Tuoni's hall.
