SKVR textEnglish

Laps' kätkyessä.

1Tuurin lasta tuonelaanTo Tuonela, Tuoni's child is taken

2Tuonelan uuteen tupahan,To Tuonela's new cottage,

3Tupa on tehty turpehista,The cottage is built of peat,

4Seinät pantu sammalista,Its walls laid with moss,

5Ovi omena puusta,The door of apple wood,

6Kären sia kärväs luusta.The handle's peg from bone,

7Siell on lapsen hyvä ollaThere the child may dwell well,

8Ilman kyljen kääntämätäWithout turning a side,

9Olka pään ojentamataNor stretching shoulder or head,

10Sin' ei kuulu kukon lauluNo rooster's song is heard,

11Eikä paista päivä lämmin.Nor does the warm sun shine.
