SKVR textEnglish
1Meitän pienet kananpojatOur little chicks
2Menivät kerran erään herrastalon laton alle,Went once beneath a certain manor house's barn,
3Teippä siellä paljon pahaa.They did much evil there.
4Vanha hevonen satulat selässä, saappaat jalassa.Old horse, saddles on its back, boots on its feet.
5Liisyys, koukkuun, mene oves loukkoon!Liisyys, into the hook, go into the door's crack!
H 120: 1. Meidän p. k. 2. M. k. e. herrastaloon l. a. 5. Siissyys, k., m. o. l.
