Katsotusvirzi.

Lauletah, kum tullah sulhazen morzienda kattsomah, svoadban alluks.

1Nouzin tänä huomenessäI rose this morning

2aivoin aiga huomenessa;*At morning's time, in the morning;*

3pezime, kumardelime,We washed, we bowed,

4pyyhin pikku p'erttizeńi,I wiped the little bench,

5lagoal'in lattiańi;I swept my floor;

6vaški t'ippu varbazista,Copper dripped from the threshold,

7t'ina t'ippu lehväzistä.Tin dripped from the branches.

8Kunne, minne toppazeńi:Where, where to put them:

9vaškizehe vakkazehe,Into the copper vessel,

10kuldazeh kuburizehe.Into the golden casket.

11Koppai(n) topat helmahańi;I gathered items into my treasury;

12kunne, minne toppazeńi:Where, where to put them:

13oššetuilla ozramailla,On fallow barley fields,

14kaupatuilla kagramailla,On purchased rye fields,

15vellotuilla vehnämailla.On plowed wheat fields.

16Šeizatime topillańi,We stood by our storage,

17kuundelim̄e, keändelim̄e,We listened, we turned,

18keännin peäni päivän laškuh,I turned my head at sunset,

19luonnin šilmät luodehella,Cast my eyes northwestward,

20katsahin on kangahalla:Gazed at the loom:

21kuulu šuolda šukšen eäńi,*Heard the marsh-duck's call,

22kangahalda rein kabina,The loom's frame creaking,

23jovelda kellon jorina,The river-bell's jingling,*

24kainut šulhot kangahalla,Bridal party on the loom,

25šuitset seitset vyön tagana.Seven matches behind the belt.

26Mid on šuitšet šeitšellähäⁿ,What are the seven matches,

27tabitarhinat käzissä?The tools in [their] hands?

28Meän on ńiemen ńeidozia,Ours is the headland-maiden,

29meän on kaupuńńin kanoja.Ours the town's hens.

30Mistä t'iezi, teugamoińe,Where from, Teugamoiné,

31kuulit, kuldańe omenaDid you hear, golden apple,

32tämän kanan kažvanehen,Of this hen's growth,

33impyön ylenneheksi?The maiden's ascension?

34Siidä t'iezi teugamoińe,From there came Teugamoiné,

35kuuli kuldańe omena:The golden apple heard:

36ei kylä šigehe moannunThe village didn't shift to dung,

37neijon pirran roigehelda,By the maiden's shuttle clatter,

38šukkulaizen šuigehelda;The weaver's sliding shuttle;

39šuigai šukkula käješšä,The shuttle slid in hand,

40kuin on pordimo pinošša,Like a bundle in a stack,

41keämi keäššä keäberöittäu,A coil within a coil wound,

42kuin käby oravan šuušša.Like a cone in a squirrel's mouth.

43Siidä t'iezi teugamoińe:From there came Teugamoiné:

44nouzi nogi nuorazešta,Rose foot from youth,

45šavu pukšušti pageni.Smoke fled the stove.

46Eibä miun ois palkka suuri:My reward won't be great:

47äyri puolelda šanalda,Half an äyri per word,

48kopeikka kogo šanalda,A kopeck per full word,

49ńellin d'engoin ńeidozilla,Four dengas for maidens,

50polttinoin kylän pojilla,Burned for village lads,

51alttinoin kylän akoilla.Altared for village women.

52Siin on virzi kuullakšeže;Here's the song to be heard;

53ei ole lapsi laulamašša,No child may sing it,

54eng ole ruunun tyttäriä,No stallion's daughters,

55pane laulu poalikalla,Place the song on the shelf,

56jott ei lapšet laulettaize,Lest children sing it,

57hienohiukset hienonnettais.Fine hairs be refined.
