SKVR textEnglish
1Tui tui, tui tui, tuomen kukka,Hush hush, hush hush, bird cherry's bloom,
2Ei toi tiijä mamma rukka,That poor mother doesn't know,
3Missä lapset laulelee.Where the children are singing.
4Kiven päällä,On the stone's surface,
5Kosken keskellä,In the rapid's midst,
6Sukkai putos,Socks tumbled down,
7Kenkäi katos,Shoes vanished away,
8Tules, mammai, ettimää!Come, mother, search them out!
