SKVR textEnglish
1Turuntyttö, saarenneito,Turku maiden, island maiden,
2Turun morsian mokoma,Turku's bride, that one there,
3Istuu saaren sillam päässä,She sits at the island bridge's end,
4Vuoron itki, vuoron nakro,Now she wept, now she snarled,
5Vuoron päätän paneli,Now she bowed her head low,
6Vuoron pannoo pakloja,Now she made reverent signs,
7Kenkiǟn kiinitteli.Her shoes she fastened tight.
