1Tuuliko uusta tuikuttavi,Is it the new wind flickering?

2kovako ilma kolkuttavi?Is the harsh weather knocking?

3Ellys tupahan tulko,Do not let [it] come into the cottage,

4tuvassa on tuvan tekijä,in the cottage is the house's master,

5päässä pöyän vestelijä.at the head of the bench sits the one who presides.

6Astu aittahan mäelle,Step to the granary on the hill,

7aittani on valelukossa,my granary is under a false lock,

8avaimet kynnyksen alla,the keys beneath the threshold,

9aitassa olutta putsi,in the granary, a cask of beer,

10tuopi on putsin takana,bring! It’s behind the cask,

11juo'os kannu, juoos kaksi,drink a pitcher, drink two,

12nuku nurmelle hyvälle,sleep on the good grass,

13kaa'u maalle kaunihille.lie down on the beautiful ground.
