SKVR textEnglish
1Tule, uni, ulkomaalleCome, sleep, from the outer lands,
2Meiän lapsen laivasee,Into our child's little ship,
3Sio lapsen silmät kii,Close the child's eyes tight,
4Kuro lapsen kulmat kii,Draw the child's brows together,
5Sio silkkiriepusella,Cover [them] with a silk cloth,
6Paa paljo unta pääl!Heap much sleep upon [them]!
