Would sing in a different way.
The spruces would listen to me.
The pine trees would learn from me

Omat kuuset kuuntelisi,
Omat oppisi petäjät,
Oi dai omat...
Nyt oon mailla vierahilla,
Tuiki tuntemattomila,
Oi dai tuiki...

Eikä vaaku mein varikset,
Oi dai eikä...
Mihin jouvun mie polonen,
Jouvu in joutsen-joukostani,
Oi dai jouvuin...
Haihuin hanhiparvestani,
Haihuin hanhiparvestani
Oi dai haihuin...
Tok mie lintu laulelisin,
Sekä kukkusin käkönen,
Oi dai sekä...
