SKVR textEnglish

1Tuu, tuu, tupakkarullaa,Come, come, (for) a tobacco roll,

2Kukas käski Turusta tulla?Who ordered (you) to come from Turku?

3Itse tulin tietä myöten,I myself came along the road,

4Pappilan pihoja myöten.Through the parsonage's courtyards.

5Pappilassa oli vihainen koira,At the parsonage was an angry dog,

6Puri lapselta jalan.Bit the leg from the child.

7Lapsi juooksi tätin luokse,The child ran to the aunt's side,

8Täti leipoi suuren pullan,The aunt baked a large loaf,

9Pani siihen paljon voita.Put into it much butter.
