SKVR textEnglish
1Hyy, hyy Hytelään,Gee up, gee up to Hytölä,
2Hytelän koirat haukkumaan.Hytölä's dogs to bark.
3Kukas sieltä tulee?Who comes from there?
(Sen nimi, joka tulee.)
4Kukas sen on hevosena?Who is that one as a horse?
5Harakka sen on hevosena.The magpie is that one as a horse.
6Mikäs sen on piiskana?What is that one as a whip?
7Siklisko piiskana.A stickleback as a whip.
8Mikäs sen on satulana?What is that one as a saddle?
9Sammakko satulana.A frog as a saddle.
10Hyy, hyy kaikki Hytölän koirat haukkumaan!Gee up, gee up, all Hytölä's dogs to bark!
(Arvoituksia arvuutettaissa.)
