1Mie käin piittä pitkät matkat,I walked long journeys heedlessly,
2tuluksitta tummat korvet,through dark forests unlit,
3taklatta kamalat korvet.past dreaded forests unscathed.
4Tule, toaatto, Tuutarista,Come, father, from Tuutari,
5viere verka-kaupunnista,from near the wool-cloth town,
6tytöllees tuo tyyni verka,bring your daughter calm woolen cloth,
7pojallees tuo puola hattu,bring your son a Polish hat.
8tytterikkö marjat tuopi,the little daughter brings berries,
9poikonen tulen tekköö.the little son makes fire.
