SKVR textEnglish
Tulen jälki.
1Tee tuli tehottomaksi,Make the fire powerless,
2Pane miehottomaksi!Render it unmanned!
3Visko Herra Jiesus vilua vettä,Throw cold water, Lord Jesus,
4Ettei märkinä menisiSo it doesn't go damp,
5Eikä visvona valusi!Nor flow as sludge!
6Tuli on vanhin tyttäristä,Fire is eldest of daughters,
7Vesi on vanhin veljeksistä.Water eldest of brothers.
9 kertaa veteen, maitoon tai viinaan.
