Finnish Medley [English translation]

The tree is blooming on the fields of Karelia

The Karelian birches are getting thicker

You cockoo is cockooing and it is spring

Take my endless yearning there.

I feel your danger and your' mountain range.

and the smoke of your burnt land and your sleeping nights

and the primeval trees of your forest

and your looming inlets and the mounths of the fjords.

My journey is oft there without a goal

through forests went, bushes

I stood with a bare head on the hills

where I saw the beautiful Karelia ahead of me

Hello, forest, hello, mountain

Hello, the prince of the forest

Here is a noble boy, young

He comes forward, full of power

as the severe wind of the fjeld

I want to be a son of the forest

hero of the gloomy spruce copse

on the fields of Tapiola

I wrestle with the bear

And the world shall be forgotten

The peace is here wonderful

Brave is the fighting

Storm is coming and forest thunders

The fire strikes long

and a spruce falls down loudly
