SKVR textEnglish
1Huis sika hummalla kirkkoon!May the goblin-pig haul [you] to the hops-church!
2Täti kakun leipoo,Aunt bakes the cake,
3kukko puuron keittää,The rooster cooks the porridge,
4kana rieskan lämmittää,The hen warms the flatbread,
5Pikkulintu suolan maistaa,The little bird tastes the salt,
6harakka lopun haistaa.The magpie smells the end approaching.
