Jänixen pyyvön tarina.
1Annicki, avoin piika,Annikki, open! Maiden,
2metsän piika pickuruinen,forest maiden, tiny one,
3aukase mäeltä aitta,open the storehouse from the hill,
4villa-kellari kehitä,prepare the wool-cellar,
5laske laavi lampaita,release sheep from the pen,
6lupi luppo korvases!let the loop hang from your ear!
7Kuka lie laiska juoxeman,Who dares be too lazy to run,
8siimalla sivalla,along the cord's edge,
9lappoile nuoran päällä,dangle on the rope's end,
10tielle korvasta kohenna!to the path, set your ear!
11Anna juosta joutusasti,Let them run freely,
12vikevästi viiletellä,swiftly gliding,
13juosta kullaista kujoa,run the golden path,
14hopiista tietä myöten.along the silver road.
15Tääll on kullalla kuvattu,Here it’s adorned with gold,
16hopialla holvoittu.vaulted with silver.
17Ej ol miesten muihenkan,No other men’s [place],
18ei poikiin parempinkan,nor boys’ better,
19ole kullat kūluisam̄at,gold is not more famed,
20eikä hopiit huohtavammat.nor silver more enduring.
