SKVR textEnglish
1Niin on sattunna minun polosen:Thus has it befallen my lot:
2Illat istun ikkunoissa,Evenings I sit at the windows,
3Keski-päivät kellarissa,Midday hours in the cellar,
4Puoli-päivät porstuassa,Half-days on the porch,
5Viikkauvet veräjän suussa,Weeknights at the gate's edge,
6Kuunnella kujan perässä,Listening behind the alley,
7Ammuuko anopin lehmä,Does the mother-in-law's cow moo,
8Navon lehmä naukasooko.The cowshed's cow low?
