SKVR textEnglish
Kehtolaulu.
1Tuurin lasta nukkumaan,Put Tuuri's child to sleep,
2Lapsenpiika torkkumaan.The nursemaid to doze,
3Mitäs piian palkkaa?What is the maid's wage?
4Turuun linnan sonni,Turku Castle's bull,
5Hämeenlinnan härkä,Hämeenlinna's ox,
6Pispan paras paistinlammas,The bishop's finest roast lamb,
7Liämenkaritta lisäksi.And a broth-lamb besides.
