Lyrics:
“On Pohjolan hangissa meill’ isänmaa
sen rannalla loimuta lietemme saa
käs’ säilöjä käyttäiss’ on varttunut siell’
on kunniall’, uskolle hehkunut miel’
Kun ratsujamme Nevan vuossa juotettihin
Se ui kuni häihin yli Veikselinkin;
Se kalpamme kostavan Reinille toi
ja Tonavasta keisarin maljan se joi !“
Kun raunion, tuhkan yli lennetähän,
niin kaviotpa loimun luo säihkyävän’
Joka iskumme välkkyy kuin aamun koi
ja vapauden puolesta säilämme soi!“

Our homeland lies in the snows of the North;
the hearth of the home glowing warm and strong
Our hand has grown sure with playing the sword
and honour and pure faith lies in our record
At the river Neva our mounts did draw their first blood
like in a wedding march they went across the Vistula flood
Our swords they did bring to the Rhineland’s coast
and by the Danube they raised up the Emperor’s toast!
---
Melody from 1600’s, lyrics by Zacharias Topelius, 1874.
The painting is Gustaf Adolf vid Lützen by Carl Wahlbom (1810 - 1858).
