SKVR textEnglish
1Tuutin, tuutin, tuomen kukka,Hush, hush, elderflower,
2Pellol on petäjän kukka.In the field grows pine's blossom.
3Luulinpa lasta lukkariks,I thought the child would be a sexton,
4Paperli papin pojaksi,A papery priest's son,
5Seurakunnan laulajaks.The parish's singer.
6Piennä penkilt putosin,As a child, I fell from the bench,
7Sorti miu eänen sorjan.My fair voice was broken.
