Via Finlandia [English translation]

Hocus-pocus this is how the magic trick was done

When boys are returning home with tired eyes

The Indians rising from the mist are a mirage

Only cigarette stained fingers and silence

Via Finlandia

Joy, grief, love

Sometimes bitter tears of parting

Via Finlandia, via Finlandia

Most are angels fallen asleep on this road

It has cost a lot to come to this day

And to sing the songs which are trusted

Leaning on each other we see to the end of the road

Our shoes are of shreds nowadays

Still we walk without asking for mercy
