Kehtolauluja:
1Tule, isä, InkeristäCome, father, from Ingria
2Jumalan lehmän paimenesta;From the shepherd of God's cow;
3Tuo emännälle esiliina,Bring the mistress an apron,
4Sisarelle silkkinauha,For the sister a silk ribbon,
5Pojalle se puotilakki,For the son that store-bought cap,
6Vaimollesi vaatetakki!For your wife a cloth jacket!
- - -
8Tule, täti, tänne,Come, aunt, here,
9Tuo lapsele tuomisii!Bring the child offerings!
