SKVR textEnglish
1Tuu, tuu, tupakkirulla,Come, come, tobacco-roll,
2Mistä tiesit tänne tulla?How did you know to come here?
3Tuolta tulin tietä myöten,From yonder I came by the road,
4Pappilan lehmiä paimensin.I herded the parsonage's cows.
5Mitä sait sä palkaksesi?What did you get as payment?
6Viis, kuus poikasta.Five, six boys.
7Mitkä niijen nimi on?What are their names?
8Iitami, Aatami,Hiram, Adam,
9Suutari, RaatariShoemaker, Wheelwright
10Teki mulle rituratu-kengät.Made me stick-wheel shoes.
11Minä lähtin naimaanI went to seek a wife
12Pikopirtin tyttäriä.Of Pikopirtti's daughters.
