SKVR textEnglish
1Huru huru, hummalla kirkhon,Hum hum, on the hop-plant church,
2Poikkees siältä tätilähän.Stopped by there to their aunt's place.
3Täti kaakul leipoo.Aunt bakes a kaakul loaf.
4Matti maahan panhan,Matti placed [it] on the ground,
5Harakka hauraŋ kaivaa,Magpie digs the brittle [thing],
6Kettu kelloja soittaa:Fox rings the bells:
7Pium paum palalalalaa.Pium paum palalalalaa.
8Pikku lintu lusikat pesöö,Little bird washes spoons,
9Pääsky viarhat käsköö.Swallow commands the innocent/sins.
