(Our Land)
Original Finnish Words
Oi maamme Suomi, synnyinmaa,
soi, sana kultainen!
Ei laaksoa ei kukkulaa,
ei vettה, rantaa rakkaampaa
kuin kotimaa tהה pohjoinen,
maa kallis isien.
Sun kukoistukses kuorestaan
keerrankin puhkeaa;
viel' lempemme saa nousemaan,
sun toivos, riemus loistossaan,
ja kerran laulus, synnyinmaa,
korkeemman kaiun saa.
Original Swedish Words
Vוrt land, vוrt land, vוrt fosterland,
Ljudhצgt, o dyra ord!
Ej lyfts en hצjd mot himlens rand,
Ej sהnks en dal, ej skצljs en strand,
mer הlskad הn vוr bygd i nord,
ִn vוra fהders jord.
Din blomning, shuten הn i knopp,
Skall mogna ur sitt tvוng;
Se, ur vוr kהrlek skall gו opp
Ditt ljus, din glans, din frצjd, ditt hopp,
Och hצgra klinga skall en gוng
Vוr fosterlהndska sוng.
English:
Our land, our land, our fatherland,
Sound loud, O name of worth!
No mount that meets the heaven's band.
No hidden vale, no wave-washed strand.
Is loved, as is our native North.
Our own forefathers' earth.
Thy blossom, in the bud laid low,
Yet ripened shall upspring.
See! From our love once more shall grow
Thy light, thy joy, thy hope, thy glow!
And clearer yet one day shall ring
The song our land shall sing.
