SKVR textEnglish
Hiiri ei syö kekuo.
1Hiiriä hiiteh,Mice into the spirit groves,
2Mykriä myötäh,Moles into the company,
3Jäniksiä jälkeh!Hares into the tracks!
4Jos mie talvella tavotan,If I catch [them] in winter,
5Hiiren survon huhmaressa,The mouse's crush in the snare,
6Hampahat kivellä jauhan,Teeth I grind on stone,
7Peänahkan napilla nossan.The scalp's crown I lift.
