SKVR textEnglish
Yskän luku.
(Tämä luetaan saunassa yskäistä lasta kylvettäissä):
1Mäne, yskä, ukkolaa,Go, cough, to Ukkola,
2Ukkola lapsii luokse,To Ukkola's children nearby,
3Ukkola lapsill' on suuri pää,Ukkola's children have a big head,
4Ne jaksaa rykiä.They can cough fiercely.
5Kyllä yskä rykiä antaa,Indeed, the cough gives fierce coughing,
6Koukkuleuka koukutella.Let the hook-jaw be hooked away.
