SKVR textEnglish
1Lämmitin metosen saunanI heated the sauna of the wooded tract
2Metosella halkosella.With a log from the wooded tract.
3Kylvin itse kyllikseen,I bathed myself to fullness,
4Valoin vettä viljykseen.I poured water for the grain's sake.
5Laitoin sulhon kylpömään.I set the groom to bathe.
6Minkä sulho maahan pyrki,Wherever the groom reached toward the ground,
7Sen mie löylyn lisäsin,To that I added more steam,
8Minkä sulho usta huusi,Wherever the groom shouted at the door,
9Sen mä usta ummistelin.To that I closed the door tight.
