SKVR textEnglish

Tuutilaulu.

1Ku emo miuista tuuti,When my mother lulled me,

2Luul heä turvase tulloo,She thought safety would come,

3Varapäivä valkenoo.The day of rescue dawns.

4Miust ei turva tullutkaa,For me, no safety came,

5Ei tullut emosellein,Not to my dear mother,

6Tult ei tuutijaisellein,No visitor came to the lulling rite,

7Tult ei turvaista emolle.No security came to Mother.

8Miust tul turva toisen miehen,For me came another man's protection,

9Vara toison vanhemmalle;Wealth to another parent;

10Rikkahal tul riihen puija,With riches came the barn's prop,

11Rahakkahāl roatelija,With money, the squanderer,

12Vieraal kivevvetäjä.A foreign stone-layer.
