from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Jopa tunsin tullessani
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Jopa tunsin tullessani,       
Tiesin tiepotellessani,       
Tämän koitosen kotihin,       
Tämän talon tanhuille--       
Tunsin saavani hyvihin,       
Ja jaloihin joutuvani:        
Kolm' oli aittoa mäellä:      
Ison aitta kultaharja,        
Pojan aitta hopiaharja,       
Veljenpojan vaskiharja.       
Tunsin saavani tupihin,       
Joutuvani juominkihin,        
Kun tuli oluen tuohku,        
Viinan karsu kartanolle.      

Hyv' on sain tähän salihin,   
Jouvuin näihin juominkihin;   
Juon mä päivän, juon mä kaksi,
Pääsen kohta kohmelohon,      
Selviän mä siitä jälle.       
Niin olen sitte selvä miesi.
