SKVR textEnglish
Liskon sanat.
1Tuohikoppero kotisi,The birch-bark shack became your home,
2Lahokanto kartanosi.The rotten stump your manor.
3Vaski suusi, vaski pääsi,Copper your mouth, copper your head,
4Vaski napasi.Copper seized you.
5Tule työsi tuntemaan,Come to recognize your deeds,
6Paranna pahat tekosi!Amend your wicked acts!
Kun on kaikkein ilkeintä kohtaa, niin 9 kertaa 9, vaan kaikkein vähintään 9 kertaa.
