SKVR textEnglish
1Humala taposta huusi,Hops shouted from Tapio's domain,
2Vesi on kaivosta syvästä.Water is from the deepest well.
3Otra pellon pientarelta:Barley from the field's small edge:
4Millo me yfteen yhymme?When shall we meet together?
5Joulum pitkinä pyhinä,At Christmas, during the long holy days,
6Pääpyhinä pääsiäissä.At Easter, the highest holy days.
7Kotihese ne muut männööt,The others go to their homes,
8Majoillese matkustavat.Travel to temporary lodgings.
9Mull ei kurjalla kottii,I, the wretched, have no home,
10Kalkisell ei kartanoista:No manor for the barren one:
11Tien mä pellolle pessäin,I cleared the road to the field,
12Marjavarsilla maijain:Sledded with berry-laden boughs:
13Muill' on turvat, muill on armot,Others have safeguards, others mercies,
14Muill' on turva turpehessa,Others' safety lies in turf walls,
15Armo kirkon aijan alla.Mercy under the church's reign.
