SKVR textEnglish
1Anni ankara emäntä,Anni, the stern mistress,
2Keitti kengät, paisto paulat,Cooked shoes, baked reins,
3Vei vierahan etehen;Brought the guest forward;
4Vieras luuli vehnäseksi,The guest thought it was wheat,
5Talonpoika tamppuseksi,The farmer thought it was oak-bread,
6Matti makkaranmuruksi,Matti thought it was a sausage crumb,
7Tuomas tuohenkäiväräksi.Tuomas thought it was a birch-bark twist.
