SKVR textEnglish
1Tuu tuu tupakkirullaa,Come, come for a tobacco roll,
2mistäs tiesit tänne tulla?How did you know to come here?
3Tulin pitkin Turkutietä,I came along the Turku road,
4Hämeenlinnan härkätietä.Hämeenlinna's ox road.
5Turuusta tuotiin tullattu silkki,From Turku came customs-cleared silk,
6se oli joka kulmasta rikki.it was torn at every corner.
