SKVR textEnglish
Olipa muuan emäntä, joka käytti luonaan vierasta miestä oman poissaollessa. Kun taas kerran tämä vieras mies lähestyi taloa, sattuikin emännän oma mies olemaan kotosalla. Silloin emäntä lasta liekuttaessaan lauloi suurella äänellä:
1Pakkane pani ovvii,Frost set [itself] at the door,
2Tuutima luuli lasta,Tuutima thought of the child,
3Meä sie pois poukuttaja,I, you [are] the one leading [me] away,
4Kotiheis meä kolkuttaja!Homeward I, the knocker!
5Tule toissa torstakin,Come on the last Thursday,
6Sit ei oo mies koton,Then the man won’t be home,
7Sit on vihaine ViipurisThen the wrathful [man] is in Viipuri,
8Ja kavala kaupunkis,And the cunning [man] in the city,
9Tuutima luuli lasta.Tuutima thought of the child.
