SKVR textEnglish
1Nukkalangot laulama,Spindle-threads, begin singing,
2Heimokset heläjämä,Kinfolk, start resounding,
3Laulan pielekset pihalle,I sing the edges to the yard,
4Tammet keskitanterelle,Oaks to the central clearing,
5Tammell' on tasaiset oksat,On the oak are even branches,
6Joka oksalla omena j.n.e.On each branch, an apple, etc.
