from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Tuuti lasta, tuuti pientä
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Tuuti lasta, tuuti pientä,
Tuuti lasta nukkumahan! 
Laulan lasta nukkumahan,
Uuvutan unen rekehen; 
Käy unonen kätkemähän,
Poik' unosen ottamahan, 
Kultaisehen korjahasi,
Hopiaisehen rekehen!

Sitte saatua rekehen, 
Kopattua korjahasi, 
Ajele tinaista tietä, 
Vaskitannerta tasaista; 
Vieös tuonne vienoistani, 
Kuletellos kullaistani, 
Harjulle hopiavuoren, 
Kultavuoren kukkulalle, 
Hopiaisehen salohon,
Kultaisehen koivikkohon,
Kussa käet kullan kukkui, 
Lauleli hopialinnut.
