Finlandia

Oh Finland, behold, Your day is dawning,Oi Suomi, katso, Sinun päiväs koittaa,
the threat of night has already been driven away,yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois,
and the morning lark plays in the brightnessja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa
as if the very sky were singing.kuin itse taivahan kansi sois.
The powers of the night are already defeated by the morning light,Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa,
your day is dawning, oh homeland.sun päiväs koittaa, oi synnyinmaa.

Rise, Finland, raise highOi nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle
your head adorned with great memories,pääs seppälöimä suurten muistojen,
rise, Finland, you showed to the worldoi nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle
that you banished slaverysä että karkoitit orjuuden
and that you did not yield to oppression,ja ettet taipunut sä sorron alle,
the morning has begun, homeland.on aamus alkanut, synnyinmaa.

Oh, Finland, see, your morning light is breaking,O, Finland, se, din morgonljusning randas,
and the night is dispersing dark and long.och natten skingras hotfullt mörk och lång.
Hear the voice of the lark mingling with the hum of space,Hör lärkans röst med rymdens susning blandas,
soon the space will be filled with jubilant song.snart rymden fylles av jubelsång.
The night flees and you breathe freely again.Se natten flyr och fritt du åter andas.
Your morning is brightening, oh homeland.Din morgon ljusnar, o fosterland.

Rise high, our country, as you rose from the night.Stig högt, vårt land, som du ur natt dig höjde.
The day awaits you, meet it freely and openlyDen dag dig väntar, fritt och öppet möt
with the same strength, with the same courage, you clearedmed samma kraft, med samma mod, du röjde,
when you broke the yoke of slavery.när träldomsoket du sönderbröt.
Oppression never bent you to the ground,Förtrycket aldrig dig till jorden böjde,
Your work awaits, oh homeland.Ditt verk väntar, o fosterland.
