1Huis humma HuittisiinSwiftly, horse, to Huittinen

2Palajoelta PappisiinFrom Palajärvi to Pappinen

3Tätin tykö viaraisiin,To Aunt's place for the feast,

4Täti leipoo suuren kakon,Aunt bakes a great loaf,

5Pannee paljon voita päälle,Heaps much butter atop,

6Kirvesvarren paksuiselta,Thick as an axe handle's girth,

7Liikkiön siallihhaa,Liikkiö sets it in place,

8Karpion kanammuniaNettle-patch hen's eggs,

9Kukko siälä puuron keittääA rooster cooks porridge there,

10Kana kastin lämmittää,A hen warms the sauce,

11Pikkulintu voin pistääA little bird adds butter,

12Hakkinen hakkee lusikoita,Hakkinen carves spoons,

13Varpunen lukkee tusinoita.A sparrow counts the dozens.
