Mahorkat ovat loppuneet

Mahorkat ovat loppuneet.
Pittää männä lafkaa.
Sit ku miä oon tult
lafkast kottii,
miä sytän lampin,
söön kaakkuu
ja joon kohvii.

Ono kumma,
jot lanterna ei puttoo
tuulees allaa
krintsan pinnalle.

I Have Run out of Mahorka

I have run out of mahorka.
I have to go to the store.
When I get back home,
I'll light a lamp,
eat barley bread,
and drink coffee.

Strangely, the lantern doesn't fall
onto the porch in the wind.
