First stanza | ||
Syvä iskumme on, viha voittamaton, |
Deep is our blow, our wrath is invincible, |
Deep is our blow, our wrath is unbeatable, |
Second stanza | ||
Kun painuvi päät muun kansan, maan, |
When the rest of the people and the land hung their heads Jaegers still believed. In our chest we had the night, a thousand pains, but only one proud, holy thought: We will rise like the revenge of Kullervo, And we shall pass sweetly those destinies of the war. Chorus (×2) A new tale will be born now of Finland, it grows, it charges, it triumphs. |
While other Finns and the land had given up hope, |
Third stanza | ||
Häme, Karjala, Vienan rannat ja maa, |
Over Tavastia, Karelia, the strand of Dvina, and the land, |
Tavastia, Karelia, the shores of Dvina and the land, |
