SKVR textEnglish
1Tuulin lasta tuonelaan,I carried a child to Tuonela by wind,
2Tuonelass' on uusi tupa,In Tuonela there's a new cottage,
3Sivuseinä sirkanluistaThe side wall from a young reindeer's bones,
4Peräseinä peuranluistaThe back wall from a wild reindeer's bones,
5Oviseinä omenapuustaThe door wall from an apple tree,
6Lattia hopealla miilattuThe floor paved with silver,
7Katto kullalla siilattu,The roof thatched with gold,
