1Miu mau Mikko kualiMy land's Mikko died
2Kissa kellot soittiThe cat rang the bells
3Harakka haulan kaivoMagpie [of] Haula's well
4Varis maahan lauloCrow sang to the earth
5Pikkulintu lusikat pesiLittle bird washed spoons
6Kukko puuron keittiRooster cooked porridge
7Kana kastin lämmitti.Hen warmed the sacrament/broth
