1Tuuti lasta TuanelaanTake the child to Tuonela
2Tuanelas on tupa uusiIn Tuonela is a new cottage
3siuseinä sirkalluistaSide walls from grasshoppers
4peräseinä peuralluistaBack wall from deer
5oviseinä omenapuistaDoor wall from apple trees
6hiata piäni permontonaMy head as sand on the floor
7turpeista katto tuvam_päällä.Roof of peat on the cottage
