     Finlandia, Finlandia, sinne taas matkalla oli Iivana; Kun Molotoffi lupas: "Juu kaikki harosii; huomenna jo Helsingissä syödään marosii"; Njet Molotoff, njet Molotoff, valehtelit enemmän kuin itse Bobrikov.

     Finlandiya, Finlandiya, thereto was on his way Ivan; 'Cause Molotov promised: "Yes, everything kharoshiy; tomorrow we will eat ice cream in Helsinki; Nyet Molotov, nyet Molotov, you lied more than Bobrikov himself.

• In the quotation above, marosii is a dialectal spelling in partitive singular.
