SKVR textEnglish
1Tuutimaheijjaa lasta,Rock-sway the child,
2Pakkane pihalla paukki,Frost booms in the yard,
3Tuutimaheijjaa lasta.Rock-sway the child.
4Kova ilma kolkuttelj,Harsh wind knocks,
5Tuutima heijaa lasta,Rock and sway the child,
6Sie älä tule tuppaa!You, don’t come barging in!
7Tuvas on tuvan tekijä;In the house is the house’s maker;
8Mänt ei viisas Viipurii,The wise hasn’t gone to Viipuri,
9Ei kualaant kaupunkii.Nor journeyed to the town.
10Miä aittaa miäjeel!I fence/avoid my own way!
11Munapata parren piässä,Egg-pot on the beam’s end,
12Voivati on vierosessa,Butter-bowl in the guest room,
13Siel on kirstu kirstun piäl,There’s a chest on a chest,
14Lihakiijju kirstun piäl.Meat-chest on the chest.
