SKVR textEnglish
1Tuu, tuu, tupakkirulla,Come, come, tobacco-roll,
2Kuka sun käski tänne tulla?Who commanded you to come here?
3Itte tulin tietä myöten,Myself I came along the road,
4Pappilan lehmiä paimennin.I herded the parsonage's cows.
5Mitä sait palkaksi?What did you get as payment?
6Iitami, Aatami,Iitami, Aatami,
7Käkisalmen suutariKäkisalmi's shoemaker
8Teki mulle niputtimet, naputtimet.Made me binders, fasteners.
