SKVR textEnglish
1Huis humma kirkkoon,Swiftly, horse to the church,
2Poikkee sieltä tätilään.Turn aside from there to Auntie's place,
3Täti kakun leipoo,Auntie bakes the cake,
4Panee paljon voita päälle.Puts much butter atop it.
5Kukko puuron keittää,The rooster cooks the porridge,
6Kana rieskan lämmittää,The hen warms the flatbread,
7Linnut lusikat pesee,The birds wash the spoons,
8Harakat lusikat nuolee.The magpies lick the spoons.
