SKVR textEnglish
1Tuli veikko vierahaksiBrother came as a guest
2Sini peltojen sivulle,To the edge of the fields there,
3Naattitarhoin taakse.Saw behind the gardens,
4Työnnin orjan ehtimään,Sent the slave to arrive,
5Palkkalaisen kuulemaan:The hired worker to listen:
6Eipä orja löytänynnä;But the slave had not found;
73 koirani keralla,With my dog,
85, 6:n villahännän,With the shaggy-tailed,
97:n sepelikaulan - -With the wreath-necked.
