SKVR textEnglish
1Kyll on miulla virtosiaIndeed, I have plenty of songs [or streams]
2Niinkuin seinän hirtosia,*Like the wall's hanged things*,
3Laulasin merolle metsän,I sang the forest to the sea,
4Korvelle mätästä 3,To the marsh a mound,
5Kolmin linnoin mättähälle,With three fortresses onto the mound,
6Kolmin linnoin leskivaimon.A widow woman with three fortresses.
7Leskivaimo vastaeli:The widow woman answered:
8"En ole leski enkä leino.""I am not a widow nor a mourner."
