Pikse palve [English translation]

Take, Pikne1 the ox we offer you as part of our appeal2,

it has two horns and four hooves

An appeal to Pikne - for ploughing, for sowing

An appeal to Pikne - the stems are copper, the grain is gold3

Push the black clouds elsewhere, above a vast swamp,

above the high-lying wilderness, above the vast forest.
