SKVR textEnglish
Lapsille.
1Souva lasta Soroloa,Let the child of Sorola resound, / Let the flow go to Sorola,
2Yli pellon Peroloa,Over the field to Perola,
3Pitkän matkan Maruloa!To the long journey's Marula!
4Marulas on mustat lehmät,In Marula are black cows,
5Ne männiit ammuin ahol,They went long ago to the clearing,
6Sinkuin sinisalol.As if to a blue-lit grove.
