SKVR textEnglish
1Mäne, päivä, männikölle,Go, sun, to the pine forest,
2viere vemmelkoivikolle,To the flank of the supple birch grove,
3lase paimenta kot't'ii!Let the shepherd go home!
4Paimen parka kuivan leivän kuinuvaa,The poor shepherd withers from dry bread,
5kakrasen kavertelloo,Pecking at the buckwheat,
6otrasen overtelloo,Hulling the barley,
7rukehisen ruinuaa.Threshing the rye.
