SKVR textEnglish
Pulmunen.
1Hyi, hyi,Fie, fie,
2Kusta pulma puuttuna,From where has the trouble sprung,
3Taikka tapahtunna,Or been brought to pass,
4Kivistäkö, kannoistako,From stones or stumps,
5Vaiko vatturaunioista?Or from cloudberry ruins?
6Mene tuonne kirkon taakse,Go there behind the church,
7Tuhatlauan lappehesen,To the slope of the Thousand-Plate,
8Joss' on monet murhamiehet,Where many murderers lie,
9Suurimmat pahantekijät,The worst wrongdoers,
10Mää hongissa hohisten,I, in pines whispering,
11Petäjissä peppuroidenIn pines wriggling,
12Minun silmin nähtyäni,With my eyes having witnessed,
13Käsin päälle käytyäni!Hands having been laid upon me!
