SKVR textEnglish
Kiveä kätkettäessä saneli kätkijä:
1Sotken saavia, kätken kintasta.I confuse the receivers, I hide the bound bundle.
2Arvaa, kellä kulla kivi on!Guess, with whom the golden stone is!
3Ei oo omasa kourasa,It is not in [one's] own hand,
4Pistin pikku kissan plakkariin.I stuck the little cat into the hidden spot.
