Äänisen aallot [English translation]

The waves of wide Lake Onega

Swaying they tell a tale

A new dawn shall be given

To the land of Viena and Olonets

They heard the sweet melody

Of tumultuous battle

Now an unwavering crowd

Guards its shores

Silently cradles

Lake Onega its waves

Growing weary on the shores

Of fairytale islands

From afar, my darling

I remember you

One day I will take you

To the boat of our happiness

From afar, my darling

I remember you

One day I will take you

To the boat of our happiness

The waves of wide Lake Onega

Swaying they tell a tale

To the Karelian land the people

Have brought a new kantele

They walked from victory to victory

Beating like a strom

Until the untouched

Sweet land was left behind
