SKVR textEnglish

1Hyy Hyvölään,Hyy to Hyvölä,

2Hyvölän koirat haukkumaan.Hyvölä's dogs to barking,

3Mänkeipä lapset kahtomaan,Go now, children, to look,

4Kettee tuolla tulloo.Who comes there yonder?

5Pien' poika räppänä,A small boy, ragged,

6Huuhmar o(n) hattuna,An owl as his hat,

7Petkel on keppinä,A cudgel as his staff,

8Kive(n) l̄auteet rekenä,Stone planks as a sled,

9Sammakko satulana,A frog as a saddle,

10Kiärme ohjaksina,A snake as reins,

11Sisolisko piiskana.A lizard as a whip.
