1Tuuti, tuuti tuomen kukka,Hush, hush, bird cherry's blossom,

2Ei tiiä Olena rukka,Poor Olena does not know,

3Mikä tuska tyttärelleWhat sorrow befalls the maiden,

4Ja pakko paijan helman alla,And need beneath the shirt's hem,

5Suuri vaiva Varpulilla,Great strife in Varpuli,

6Lippas Linnan tietä myöte,She sped along the castle road,

7Aijaa kaupungin katui myöte.Rode through the town's streets.

8Voi sie armas puotimies,Oh you dear shopkeeper,

9Laitat pari pasmakkoita.Set out a pair of pasmakkoi [likely coins].
