SKVR textEnglish
1Höys sika metsään,Drive the pig into the forest,
2Tule huomenna kotia!Come home tomorrow!
3Tuo lapselle marjojaBring berries for the child,
4Sinisellä sissillä,With a blue basket,
5Punasella pussilla!With a red bag!
6Pane porstuan loukkoon,Put [it] in the porch's gap,
7Siellä se lapsi havattee!There the child will notice it!
