SKVR textEnglish
1Jussi pussi punnittiin,Jussi's bag was weighed,
2Yli kirkon heitettiin,Over the church it was thrown,
3Katavalta kannettiin,From Katavalta it was carried,
4Mustalla mullalla peitettiin,With black soil it was covered,
5Kupparin sarvella soitettiin.With the coppersmith's horn it was sounded.
