SKVR textEnglish
1Kyl se huntu huolta tuopi,Indeed, the headscarf brings sorrow,
2Palmikko pahhaa mieltä.The braid [brings] a bitter mood.
3Ko olin issoin koton,When I was at the masters' home,
4Olin ko putki vuorta vast,I was like angelica by the slope,
5Saraheinä seinää vast.Sedge grass against the wall.
