SKVR textEnglish
1Minä menin naimaanI went to marry
2Kangassaaren kaimaaKangas Island's counterpart
3Nisust siellä leivottiinFrom wheat, bread was baked there
4yljän kätten annettiin.By noble hands it was given.
5Ylkä antoi kaaselThe youth gave a ceremonial cup
6koosel pisti kiven pääl.The bridal gift was placed on the stone.
7Kivi rupes kiikkuma liikkumaThe stone started rocking and swaying
8kalisema kolisema.Clattering and rattling.
9Isol hevosel heiniFor the big horse, hay
10vähä varsal kauroi.For the small foal, oats.
11Kukko lauloi uunin päälA rooster crowed on the oven
12papin poika porsnos nakuroi.The priest's son made the piglet gnaw.
