SKVR textEnglish
1Kuts kukko kylpömään,Invite the rooster to bathe,
2Kanat vettä kantamaan,Hens to carry water,
3Hiiret vihtoi hautomaanMice whisked to brood [steam],
4Mustat myssyp pääsä!Black caps on their heads!
5Kukkoi kuivai,Roosters dried,
6Kuali saunamparveen,Cooled in the sauna loft,
7Kanat puhalsi sarveen.Hens blew into the horn.
