SKVR textEnglish
Lasten kehtolaulu.
1Souan, souan sorolaa,I sing, I sing the sorola-song,
2yli pellom_perolaa.over the field's boundary-edge.
3Perolas on musta lehmä,At Perolas is a black cow,
4toine valkone vasikka,another [is] a white calf,
5Anni alla lypsämässä.Anni beneath [it], milking.
6Minkä Anni altaan sai,What Anni obtained from under,
7ukor_ryntty ryyppäs' kaik.the old man's jug guzzled all.
