Mitä tuosta, jos ma laulan
 (Sung text for setting by L. Madetoja)
 Matches base text
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Mitä tuosta, jos ma laulan,
tahi tuosta, jos ma tanssin,
ei tuota kyty kysele,
eikä appi arvaele,
nato ei naisille sanele,
anoppi kylän akoille;
ky'yn kytken kynnykselle,
naon naittelen kylälle,
anopin susille syötän,
apen karhuille apatan.
