SKVR textEnglish
Luku lapsill (ku kylvetään):
1Ei ole löylyn löytämistä,There is no finding of the steam,
2Ei vetosen velkomista,No demanding of the water,
3Löyly saunan sam̄alille,Let the steam [go] to the sauna's moss,
4Vesi kiukovan kiville.Water onto the stove's stones.
5Lapsen ihastumaan,For the child to be awed,
6Ves' pölästymään,For the water to startle,
7Ves maaha vieremään,For water to roll into the ground,
8Pienen ylös kasvamaan!For the little one to grow upward!
9Nouse luonto lovehesta,Rise, spirit, from the cavity,
10Hoaan alta haltia.From beneath the cavity, the haltija.
11Mistä lie puskut puuttuneet,Where might the obstacles have come,
12Pahat tauit tarttuneet:The bad customs seized:
13Liekos puusta vai lie maasta.Whether from a tree or from the earth.
14Syö syöjäin, näe näkiäinEat the eaters, see the seers,
15Ja voita vastuksein!And conquer the adversaries!
