Oi, nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle, pääs’ seppelöimä suurten muistojen, oi, nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle, sa että karkoitit orjuuden, ja ettet taipunut sa sorron alle, on aamus’ alkanut, synnyinmaa. —V.A. Koskenniemi, 1940 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! —V.A. Koskenniemi, 1940, transl.
