SKVR textEnglish
Rauale.
1Rauta, otaa kipus ja vihas pois,Iron, take away your pain and poison,
2Rauta paranna haavas,Iron, heal your wound,
3Haava piä varas,Wound, stay away,
4Külmä piä varas,Cold, stay away,
5Lämmin piä varas,Warmth, stay away,
6Vesi piä varas,Water, stay away,
7Hiki piä varas!Sweat, stay away!
Ku on painanu, siunathaa pääle ja tulirauala viiää ümpäri.
