SKVR textEnglish
Koeran lumous.
1Tukkee, hiis, haukun suu',Block, hiisi, the dog's mouth,
2Lempo koeran leuka-luu,Lempo [seal] the dog's jawbone,
3Laeta sulku suun eteen,Place a lock before its mouth,
4Haetta hammasten väliin,Set [it] between the teeth,
5Ettei ennen eäntä peästaSo it cannot release [even] a morsel before
6Miehen mentyä sivuitse!The man has passed by!
