SKVR textEnglish
Anttia haukuttiin:
1Antti airo, puiron pairo,Antti's oar, the wooden cleft,
2Meni sonnilla sottaan,He went with the bull to battle,
3Mullikoilla muille maille,With calves to foreign lands,
4Kärme piiskana käresä,A snake as whip in his grasp,
5Sikaliiska kannoksilla.A swine's slab on the shafts.
