1Aa, aa, aa allin lasta,Ah, ah, ah, of the newborn child,
2Pientä linnun poikaa,Of the small bird's chick,
3Ei ole isää, ei ole äitiä,There is no father, no mother,
4Joka sinua hoitaa.Who would care for you.
5Ei ole isää, ei ole äitiä,There is no father, no mother,
6Joka sinua hoitaa.Who would care for you.
