Tipi-tii, tipi, tipi, tipi-tii
Kevät on vallaton
Tipi-tii, tipi, tipi, tipi-tii
Lintunen kertoi sen
Tipi-tii, tipi, tipi, tipi-tii
Etsimään riennetään
Tipi-tii, tipi, tipi, tipi-tii
Armahin kummankin
Kuorolaulu kun lauletaan
Tässä kumpikin oksallaan
Saamme kauemmas kuulumaan
Kutsun rakkauden
Tipi-tii, tipi, tipi, tipi-tii
Pesänkin rakensin
Tipi-tii, tipi, tipi, tipi-tii
Tule vain armahain
Kevät siivin iloisin
Liihoittelee meillekin
Pyöritellen tullessaan
Aurinkoista vannettaan
Lalala… lalala…
Lalala… lalalala…
Tipi-tii, tipi, tipi, tipi-tii
Tipi-tii, tipi, tipi, tipi-tii
Kuorolaulu kun lauletaan
Tässä kumpikin oksallaan
Saamme kauemmas kuulumaan
Kutsun rakkauden
Tipi-tii, tipi, tipi, tipi-tii
Pesänkin rakensin
Tipi-tii, tipi, tipi, tipi-tii
Tule vain armahain
Tule vain armahain
Tipi-tii
Chirpy-chirp, chirpy, chirpy, chirpy-chirp
The spring is wonderful
Chirpy-chirp, chirpy, chirpy, chirpy-chirp
It was told by a bird
Chirpy-chirp, chirpy, chirpy, chirpy-chirp
Let’s hasten to find
Chirpy-chirp, chirpy, chirpy, chirpy-chirp
A sweetheart for both of us
When we’re singing in chorus
Each one here on its branch
We can make it be heard further
The call of love
Chirpy-chirp, chirpy, chirpy, chirpy-chirp
I also built a nest
Chirpy-chirp, chirpy, chirpy, chirpy-chirp
Come along my dearest
The spring with happy wings
Floats for us too
It comes twiddling
Its sunny hoop
Lalala… lalala…
Lalala… lalalala…
Chirpy-chirp, chirpy, chirpy, chirpy-chirp
Chirpy-chirp, chirpy, chirpy, chirpy-chirp
When we’re singing in chorus
Each one here on its branch
We can make it be heard further
The call of love
Chirpy-chirp, chirpy, chirpy, chirpy-chirp
I also built a nest
Chirpy-chirp, chirpy, chirpy, chirpy-chirp
Come along my dearest
Come along my dearest
