SKVR textEnglish
Kierotorstak' aamuna menee emäntä läävään ja silmät ummessa sotkuo eläimiä luuvalla sekä lukee:
1Pois poistan noijan nuoletAway I remove the sorcerer's arrows
2sekä tietäjän teräkset,and the seer's blades,
3sekä karsin kattie silmät.and I strip away the covering eyes.
4Vihasuopa vilttihattu,Wrath-drenched felt-hat,
5pahasuopa paikkahattu,evil-soaked patched-hat,
6pois iestä elukoiltai!Away from the brow of the beasts!
