SKVR textEnglish
1Repo itki rinkutteli,The fox wept, wailing bitterly,
2alla vuoren voivotteli:beneath the mountain he lamented:
3"Mis miu polopoikani,"Where is my poor son,
4lieko moalla vai merellä,is he on land or at sea,
5lieko herroi hetuleis,in the lords' clutches,
6vai suuren vallan vaattehis?"or in the garb of mighty power?"
