SKVR textEnglish
1Tule, uni, uunin päältä,Come, sleep, from the stove's top,
2Torkku, toisesta talosta,Slumber, from another house,
3Käyppä lapsen kätkyee,Go into the child's cradle,
4Pienen lapsen peitteen sissään,Under the little child's cover,
5Valkohissen vaatteen sissään,Into the white garment's folds,
6Sijo lapsen silmät kiin,Seal the child's eyes shut,
7Sijo silkkirihman kanssa!Seal them with a silk ribbon!
