1Tuu tuu tupakkirullaCome, come, tobacco-roll
2Mistäs tiesit tänne tulla.How did you know to come here?
3Tulin pitkin Turun teitäI came along Turku's roads
4Liiruttelin linnan jäitäI skidded on the castle's ice
5Turusta tuotiin se tullattu silkkiFrom Turku came the duty-paid silk
6Joka oli kulunut kulmista rikki.That had worn ragged at the edges
