Värttinä
Outona omilla mailla
Niin soitti soria poika
Soitti ku sormi kin-kintatahalla
Niin soitti soria poika
Soitti kun sormi kinta-kintahalla
Paukutti pajun varrella
Koputti koivun koukerolla
Paukutti pajun varrella
Koputti ko-oivun koukerolla
"Nousipa nurkkiin nuhina
Joka soppeen sohina
Silmn isku ikkunalle
Jalan polku portahal
Kalliot kaheksi lensi
Paukkui paaet kankahilla
Joet joikui, lammet laikkui
Kaatui kaivo kartanol."
Niin soitti soria poika
Imeheksi i-ihmisille
Niin soitti soria poika
Imeheksi ihmi-ihmisille
Outona omilla mailla
Kiusan kielet kan-kannoillansa
Outona omilla mailla
Kiusan kielet kannoi-kannoillansa
"Nousipa nurkkiin nuhina..."
Thus played the fair youth
Like a finger on a mitten
Thus played the fair youth
Like a finger on a mitten
Set the willow twig-twanging
Beat the birch boughs
Set the willow twig-twanging
Beat the birch boughs
Set the corners echoing
All the crannies creaking
Eyes cast upon the window
Feet stamping on the stairway
Rent the rocks in two
Battered the boulders in the forest
The rivers running, the lakes laughing
The well in the yard fell over
Thus played the fair youth
Enchanting all who heard him
Thus played the fair youth
Enchanting all who heard him
A stranger in his own land
Driven far from home
A stranger in his own land
Driven far from home
Set the corners echoing ...
