1Mie laulan tähä talluoo:I sing here into the house:

2(isännälle verkaviitan,(for the master, a woolen cloak,

3emännälle koppakengät,for the mistress, sturdy shoes,

4tammen keski tanhuvalle),to the oak in the field's center),

5tammelle tasaset oksat,for the oak, even branches,

6joka oksalle omenan,for each branch, an apple,

7omenalle kulta pyörän,for the apple, a golden wheel,

8kultapyörälle käkösen;for the golden wheel, a cuckoo;

9kun käkö kukahtelluoo,when the cuckoo calls,

10niin syvä pakahtelluoo,then the deep bursts forth,

11syvä syttyy tulelle,the deep ignites into flame,

12peää palolle paukahtelluoo.the head bursts into the fire.
