SKVR textEnglish

1"Katista kasos kauramanni,From the swidden field grew oat-grain,

2kauramannista maturi,From oat-grain came a sprout,

3maturista pötyri,From sprout came chaff,

4pötyristä pöytärinki,From chaff came the threshing-ring,

5pöytärinkistä ripuri,From threshing-ring came a pendant,

6ripurista rintasolki,From pendant came a breast-brooch,

7rintasoljesta sorike,From breast-brooch came tiny gems,

8sorikesta sormuskimppu,From tiny gems came a ring-bundle,

9sormuskimpusta kipenä,From ring-bundle came a spark,

10kipenästä kirkontorni,From spark came a church tower,

11kirkontornista torike,From church tower came a marketplace,

12torikesta toukon loukon,From marketplace came the sowing-furrow,

13lattoon mennään joukon joukon,To the barn we go in throngs,

14larost tullaan poukon poukon."From the barn we come back winding.

Ylläolevaa on käytetty "kuurotuslukuna". "Kuurottaja" luki sitä sillä aikaa, kun toiset menivät piiloon. Kun hän oli saanut sen luettua, piti kaikkien olla piilossa.
