SKVR textEnglish
Kehtolaulu.
1Souvan lasta Sorolaan,Granting passage to Sorola's child,
2Matka pitkä tätilään.A long journey to the aunt's realm.
3Kussapa yötä lietäne?Where might we spend the night?
4Kukko hutun keittää,The rooster prepares the shelter,
5Kana maijon lämmittää,The hen warms the cabin,
6Västäpäräkki voi sulaapi.The wagtail's crest may melt away.
