SKVR textEnglish
Ku sulhasen kodih tuuaa:
1Miero vuotti uutta kuuta,The wilderness waited for the new moon,
2Päiväistä yleniästä,For the day's abundance,
3Miepä vuotin veioistani,I waited for my companions,
4Veioistani, mińoistani.My companions, my own.
5Veion tyhjin tulleheks,For my companions to come empty,
6Rat'in jousset juokseheks.For mounted bows to rush forth!
7Täll' on tosi tuotavan.This is the truth to be told.
8Nuorilta jalat väsyThe young ones' legs tire,
9Rantateitä rapsuttais,Treading the shore paths,
10Vanhoilda silmät valuThe elderly's eyes water,
11Sillanpäitä istuossa.Sitting at the bridge-ends.
12Nuorigo oli nostajas,Youth was the lifter,
13Vihanta ylentäjäs?The sprouting raiser?
14Morsien, sisoriseni,Brides, my little sisters,
15Kabulehti, lagluoni,Little hat, dear one,
16Toisin toisessa talossa,Differently in another house,
17Toisin moalla vierahalla,Differently on foreign soil,
18Ei ole kuin emoses koissa,It's not like in mother's house,
19Ei ku toaton armoloissa.Nor in father's mercy.
20Morsio, sisorisen',Bride, my little sister,
21Piä lusikkas' luvulla,Hold your spoon with care,
22Astiaset arveluksella!Handle dishes with caution!
