Morsiamen koissa.
1Näit toisin, neiti rukka,You saw differently, dear maiden,
2Toisin siellä, toisin täällä,Differently there, differently here,
3Toisin toisessa talossa,Differently in another house,
4Perehessä vierahass',In a foreign family,
5Tap' on toinen ottaminen,By custom, another taking [marriage],
6Tap' on toinen ottaminen,By custom, another taking [marriage],
7Entinen unohtaminen,The former is to be forgotten,
8Entinen unohtaminen.The former is to be forgotten.
