1Tuu tuu tupakkarullaaCome, come for the tobacco roll
2Kukas suŋ_käski Turkuun tulla?Who ordered you to come to Turku?
3Tulim_pitkin Turku-tietäWe came along the Turku road
4Hämeenlinnan härkätietäHämeenlinna's ox-road
5sipulii syämäänOnions to eat
6omenii myymäänApples to sell
7piänii neoloi niäleskelemäänTheir heads to make needles knit
8isoi neoloi pureskelemaan.Big needles to gnaw [at them]
