SKVR textEnglish
Lapsille:
1Sou, sou Soroloa,Go, go to Sorola,
2Yli pellon Peroloa!Over the field to Perola!
3Perolas on musta Perjo,In Perola dwells black Perjo,
4Sorolas on sorja lehmä,In Sorola, a comely cow,
5Se män' ammui ahol,She went at dawn to the hill,
6Sinkuin sinisalol.As through blue-green wilderness.
