SKVR textEnglish
[Tulimaahisen kipeätä painellaan hyvin vanhan tulisijan hiilellä ja sanotaan, että:]
1Kyllä tunnen tulen lumova,Indeed I know the fire's enchantment,
2Kekälehen kiepotella.The ember's rhythmic swaying.
3Tuli tutki tuhkihisi,Fire, inspect your ashes,
4Kätkeite kypenihisi,Hide away your sparks,
5Painuos alle paklojesi!Sink beneath your layers!
