Native Land lyrics

The waves of the lake splash

And pines hum

The frost of the north hurts

Finnish grief it sings...

Woods bleak and stony, unlit

There my mind rests,

There I will forget the pain,

Stars and moon us bless!

(Chorus)

Oh, my native land, stand proud, facing the future!

You were never broken down, banished into the night

Oh, my native land, stand proud, facing the future!

You will never be broken down

Not weather can frighten us,

Not to shrivel us winters,

Not the cruelty of the woods

Take our blood and life.

Frothy rapids roar

And the hills high,

Woods of pine and forests of birch

Over the wide rocks.
