i'm looking for a regional variation of the lullaby, "Tii tii tikanpoika..."sung in the area around Sysma where my grandmother was born in 1879. I learned it from my father, who learned it from her, but neither of us speaks Finnish.
The words sounded to me like this:
Dee dee dee gun poyga
Day geese a dellan nowrie
Du deese a baha piemaan poyga
Say sa lapsen nowrie
Dee dee dee dee dee dee, dee dee, dee dee dee.

In 2022 somebody asked a question, regarding the same song. Here is the answer: I am looking for the Finnish lyrics to a lullaby about a bad shepherd boy who stole a child's turnip. Thank you! | Ask a Librarian (libraries.fi)
