SKVR textEnglish
1Mänet tuonne toiselahan,Go there to another,
2Tuonne toisehen talohon,There to another house,
3Nouse aamulla varahinRise early in the morning,
4Ennen päivän nousentoa,Before the sun's rising,
5Mäne katso päivöjäisi,Go behold the day's eyes,
6Viel siun päiväsi makasi,Still your day lay sleeping,
7Pese silmäis, pää silitä,Wash your eyes, groom your head,
8Avaa sille aitan uksi,Open the granary door for it,
9Tutjuuta tupasen usta,Check the house's door,
10Mökin usta möykyttele!Knock on the hut's door!
11Jo ol päivä päällä puien.Already the sun crowns the trees.
