SKVR textEnglish
1Ivana Kojoisen poika,Ivana, son of Kojoinen,
2Itse Ivana Kojoine,He himself, Ivana Kojoinen,
3Ajo Apsolle kossii.Rode to Apsu to court.
4Iso aitassa asuupi,Grandfather lives in the granary,
5Emo aitan rappusilla.Mother on the granary steps.
6"Annats, eukko, tyttäreis"Will you give, crone, your daughter
7Miulle miehelle hyvälle,To me, a good man,
8Molotsalle morsiaksi?"As a bride to Molotsa?"
9Anto eukko tyttärieese.The crone gave her daughter.
10Sulho ajoho läksi,The groom drove off,
11Hepo juoksi, tie heläi,The horse ran, the road rang,
12Kangas kultane kumai,Golden fabric shimmered,
13Reki rautane rama'i,The iron sled creaked,
14Vemmel' piukki pihjalaine.The rowan whip whistled.
15Sano sulho neijollieese,The groom said to the maiden,
16Kujahutti kulallieese:Shouted to the guest:
17"Mist' sie meijen portit tunnet?"How do you know our gates?
18Meill' on portti pohjasessa,Our gate is in the north,
19Tina ristit, rauta rampit,Tin crosses, iron bars,
20Hirve sarviset sarenat,Moose-antlered hinges,
21Pukin luine lukku iessä,A goat-bone lock before it,
22Oven suu on osman luusta,The door's mouth is of bear bone,
23Perämaa on pesman luusta,The jamb of calf bone,
24Silta on sini kivestä,The bridge is of blue stone,
25Laki lahna suomuksista,The roof of bream scales,
26Penkit pienistä rahoista."Benches of small coins."
Sitte läks sulho kostii morsiamminee. - Se väl' miten kumman se - - ympär pyöri pääss'.
- - ei muist. enempää tästä välistä. Lopun muisti samoin kun seuraavassa.
