SKVR textEnglish
1Oi on Ogo tšikkozen,Oh, there is Ogo's pigsty,
2läkkimmeägö met̮t̮äzeh,we go into the forest clearing,
3puuhutta puromah,to gnaw at the trees,
4tammutta tagomah?to hew the oaks?
5A kun tammut tappav,But when the oaks were slain,
6havuzilla kattav,covered with pine boughs,
7mistä šie henġyn šuat?where do they get the spirit?
8Vanhan akan vakkazešta,From the old crone's offering-basket,
9nuoren mińńän lippahašta.from the young maid's adorned chest.
