Lyrics
Oi Suomi, katso, Sinun päiväs koittaa,
yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois,
ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa
kuin itse taivahan kansi sois.
Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa,
sun päiväs koittaa, oi synnyinmaa.
Oi nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle
pääs seppälöimä suurten muistojen,
oi nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle
sä että karkoitit orjuuden
ja ettet taipunut sä sorron alle,
on aamus alkanut, synnyinmaa.
Swedish translation by Joel Rundt.
O, Finland, se, din morgonljusning randas,
och natten skingras hotfullt mörk och lång.
Hör lärkans röst med rymdens susning blandas,
snart rymden fylles av jubelsång.
Se natten flyr och fritt du åter andas.
Din morgon ljusnar, o fosterland.
Stig högt, vårt land, som du ur natt dig höjde.
Den dag dig väntar, fritt och öppet möt
med samma kraft, med samma mod, du röjde,
när träldomsoket du sönderbröt.
Förtrycket aldrig dig till jorden böjde,
Ditt verk väntar, o fosterland.
English translation by Keith Bosley.
Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning,
the threat of night has now been driven away.
The skylark calls across the light of morning,
the blue of heaven lets it have its way,
and now the day the powers of night is scorning:
thy daylight dawns, O Finland of ours!
Finland, arise, and raise towards the highest
thy head now crowned with mighty memory.
Finland, arise, for to the world thou criest
that thou hast thrown off thy slavery,
beneath oppression’s yoke thou never liest.
Thy morning’s come, O Finland of ours!
Lyrics translation
Oi Suomi, katso, Sinun päiväs koittaa,
yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois,
yes aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa
kuin itse taivahan kansi sois.
Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa,
sun päiväs koittaa, oi synnyinmaa.
Oi nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle
pääs seppälöimä suurten muistojen,
oi nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle
sä että karkoitit orjuuden
yes ettet taipunut sä sorron alle,
on aamus alkanut, synnyinmaa.
Swedish translation by Joel Rundt.
O, Finland, look, your morning light is striped,
and the night is dispelled menacingly dark and long.
Hear the voice of the lark with the murmur of space mixed,
soon space will be filled with jubilation.
See the night fleeing and freely you re-breathe.
Your morning is brightening, O Fatherland.
Rise high, our land, which you raised out of night.
The day you wait, freely and openly meet
with the same power, with the same courage, you cleared,
when you broke the yoke of bondage.
The oppression never brought you to the Earth bowed,
Your work awaits, O Fatherland.
English translation by Keith Bosley.
