SKVR textEnglish
Tuutulauluja.
1Tillin, lillin, tietä käyvä,Tillin, lillin, road-walker,
2Nurmen nukka, pellon kukka,Meadow's down, field's flower,
3Eipä tiijä mamma rukka,Poor mother doesn't know,
4Missä lapses laulelee.Where your child is singing.
5Tuolla pellon pientaren takana,Beyond the field's narrow edge,
6Siell' on makeita mansikoita.There are sweet strawberries.
7Muori se mänee pitkälle sillalle,The old woman goes to the long bridge,
8Tuopi sieltä silkkiset ja sukan siteet,Brings from there silken things and stocking garters,
9Hopiaiset housun nauhat.Silvered trouser straps.
