SKVR textEnglish
1Mie se tuuvin poikoain,I brought the boys,
2Kylän ämmät poikiaan,The village wives birth their sons,
3Poika mulle mairehen,A son for me, a fair one,
4Tuopa saunan lämmittää.Bring [him] to heat the sauna.
5Jokos on vastat valmihit,Are the whisks now prepared,
6Vastat on koivun kannoksissa,The whisks in birch's forks,
7Kolmen koivun oksasta,From three birches' branches,
8Korento koan sopessa,A bundle in the hollow's swamp,
9Saavi saunan porstuassa.The trough in the sauna's entry-room.
