1Anni, ankara emäntä,Anni, the stern mistress,
2keitti kellit, paistoi pallit,boiled cauldrons, baked loaves,
3viskas vierahan etehen;threw the guest before her;
4vieras viskas penkin alle,the guest threw [something] under the bench,
5Anni itse itkemää,Anni herself to weeping,
6Anni ukko ulvomaa.Anni’s husband to howling.
