SKVR textEnglish
1Tuo se nukku naapurista,Bring that sleep-charm from the neighbor,
2Torkku toisesta talosta,Fetch slumber from another household,
3Kuro lapsen kulmat kiinni,Draw the child's eyelids closed,
4Sio sio kuro kuro,Tie, tie, draw tight, draw tight,
5Kuro kultaneuloillasi,Draw with your golden needles,
6Sio silkkirihmoillasi!Bind with your silk ribbons!
