SKVR textEnglish

Maa (Rokko).

Siihin otethaa kolme maakappaletta ja jokaisela maala püöritethää kolme kerthaa ümpäri vastahakhaa. Sanat oj_jokaisela ku püörittää:

1Maa, älä minua vihhaa,Earth, do not hate me,

2Äläkä minul_lapsiani,Nor [hate] my children;

3Ole niim_puhas minustaBe as clean of me

4Ku Neitsü Maria miehestä!

5Sillon om_maa süntünnü,Then the Earth itself was born,

6Ku Jeesus ol luotu.When Jesus was created.
