1Tiirun liirun likkapaimen,Tiirun liirun, herdswoman,
2aja karjat tänne puolle,Drive the herd to this side here,
3täällä heinät heikoilee,Here the hay grows thin,
4täällä puolanen punasempi,Here the lingonberry is redder,
5mansikka makeempi,The strawberry sweeter,
6mustikka mustempi.The blueberry darker.
