Original Lyrics in Finnish
Oi maamme, Suomi, synnyinmaa,
soi, sana kultainen!
Ei laaksoa, ei kukkulaa,
ei vettä, rantaa rakkaampaa,
kuin kotimaa tää pohjoinen,
maa kallis isien.
Sun kukoistukses kuorestaan
kerrankin puhkeaa;
viel’ lempemme saa nousemaan
sun toivos, riemus loistossaan,
ja kerran, laulus, synnyinmaa,
korkeemman kaiun saa.

O our land, Finland, fatherland,
echo loudly, golden word!
No valley, no hill,
nor water, shore more dear
than this northern homeland,
the dear land of our fathers.
Your blossom, happiness,
shall rise in the future,
and once again your hope,
glory, and joy
shall rise, Finland,
high in the future.
