Ke meisti ära suresi sene sirpi maa siseje,
ke meisti ära suresi sene sirpi maa siseje.

Ke meisti mehele läheb, sene sirpi kaugeelle,
ke meisti mehele läheb, sene sirpi kaugeelle.
Ke meisti mehele läheb, sene sirpi kaugeelle,
kellel sirp siin ette jõuab, sellel peigmees tulla nõuab.

Lähme lauldes läbi metsa,
kelle hääl seal kaugel kostab, sellel peigmees
mütsi ostab, sellel peigmees mütsi ostab.

Sirise, sirise, sirbikene, sirise, sirise sirbikene.
Ke meisti mehele läheb, ke meisti mehele läheb,
sene sirpi kaugeelle, sene sirpi kaugeelle, sene
sirpi kaugeelle, sene sirpi kaugeelle.
