SKVR textEnglish
Kiron sanat.
1Kussa p-le silloin oliWhere was the devil then,
2Kun ei ollut maat, ei taivasta?When there was no earth, no sky?
3Pihass' oli koto, maass' talo.In the yard was a home, in the earth a house.
4Muuta sinä, saatana murha kartanos',Move, you Satan, [from your] murderous manor,
5Ota, p-le, omas!Take, devil, what's yours!
6Anna rauha kristitylle,Grant peace to the Christian,
7Jesuksen siunatulle, lunastetulle.To Jesus' blessed, redeemed one.
8Pois on pirut tulesta.Devils are banished from the fire.
9Anna Neitsen Maarian lämmitellä,Let Virgin Mary warm,
10Lämmittää Jesusta.To warm Jesus.
