SKVR textEnglish
Sitsiliuskun synti.
1Sitsiliusku tsiukun poika,Son of Sitsiliusku, son of Tsiuku,
2Tsiukun poika, liuskun poika,Son of Tsiuku, son of Liusku,
3Pihalla pitsertäjäini,In the yard, my fluttering one,
4Lastuloilla latsertajaini,On wood chips, my clattering one,
5Kirjava olet kuin tsiitsankirja,You're as motley as a chirping-book,
6Kirjava olet kuin ahritsankirja,As speckled as a spirit-book,
7Juopa viinana vihasi,Drink your rage as wine,
8Oluona omat pahasi!As beer, your own evils!
