2Kiviltäsi, kannoiltasi,From your stones, from your cleared lands,

3Kuin et antane minulleSince you did not grant me

4Pihan pitkän juoksiaista,A long-runner of the yard,

5Aito vieren astujaista,A fence-side stepper,

6Kujosien kulkiaista,A path-walker,

7Tantereen taputtajaista,A field-tamperer,

8Suop' on sontaista pihoa,Willing is the dung-rich yard,

9Pihoin pitkin juoksiaista.A runner across the yards.
