SKVR textEnglish
1Huis sika hummalla mettäänA spirit-pig/boar in the thicket-forest
2Lapselle marjoja tuomaan,To bring berries for the child,
3Punaisesa pussosesa,In a red bag,
4Sinisesä säkkisesä,In a blue sack,
5vattas alla vakkasesa,Under belly in a bark-container,
6häntäs alla häkkisesä,Under tail in a cage,
7suupielesä sukkasesaIn mouth-corner's sock-pouch,
8punasen kiven takkaa.Behind the red stone.
