SKVR textEnglish
Miss' päi miu morsijammei on?
Jos saap' leppätiira kii, ni tietää miss' päi on morsia: pannaa se kämmenelle ja sanotaa:
1Lennä, lennä, leppätiira,Fly, fly, alder-tern,
2Miss' päi miu morsiammei,Whereabouts is my bride,
3Onks Sivossa vai Savossa,Is it in Sivo or in Savonia,
4Vai oma pello pientareella?Or on her own field's edge?
Mihi päi se lentää, siellä on morsija.
