1Suutari, kraatari, papinpoika PietariShoemaker, tailor, priest's son Peter
2teki minul nipukenkä, napukenkä.Made me studded shoes, buttoned shoes.
3Minä menin naimanI went to marry
4Kankassalon kaima.The namesake of Kankassalo.
5Siellä nisui leevotti,There wheat was baked,
6ylkämiähel annetti,
7Ylkämiäs morsjane,The grooms' brides,
8morsjanen kaase.The little bride Kaase.
9Kaase laski kiven kahna.Kaase dropped a stone-hen,
10Kivi rupes kiikkuman,The stone began to sway,
11kova ovi klonkkuma.The hard door creaked.
12Jaako jalaksil jalvotoine,Jaako on shafts, double-soled,
13Sipi rees silmitöine,Sipi on runners, eyeless,
14koir sylys korvitoine,A dog in lap, earless,
15Harma hevone eres,The grey horse ready,
16olkkise ohjas suus.Straw reins in its mouth.
