1Katrina kotikananenKatrina, the home-bound one
2heä kauvan kotona kasvaa,She grew long at home,
3enemmän emon luona,even more at her mother's side,
4viel ois viikomman pitänty.still ought to have stayed a week longer.
5Annussaaren saksalaisenTo the German of Annussaari,
6hevosii män etsimään,she went to seek horses,
7varsoi män' valitsemaanwent to select colts,
8sukukunnan suitset kanssa,with the clan's reins,
9heimokunnan heltukkaiset.the kin's jingling adornments.
