SKVR textEnglish
1Huis humma kirkkoon,Drive the horse to the church,
2Palajärven pappilaan!To Palajärvi's parsonage!
3Pappilas on paha koira,The parsonage has a mean dog,
4Puri humman jalan poikki.Bit the horse's leg clean off.
5Tietä tietä tätilään,Follow the road to aunt's place,
6Täti leipoi suuren kakun,Aunt baked a large cake,
7Pani paljon voita päälle,Put much butter atop it,
8Silitteli sijan lihal,Smoothed [it] on the pig's meat,
9Kaunisteli kanan munal,Adorned [it] with chicken's egg,
10Antoi pienen vauvan syödä.Gave the small baby to eat.
