Lyrics of Olen suomalainen - Kari Tapio

Olen suomalainen (original)

On pohjantahden alla
Taa koti mulla mainen,
Ma elamasta laulan,
Oonhan suomalainen
Voi jospa tietaisivat maailmalla,
Nyt mita voikaan olla taivaan alla,
On taalla kansa, jonka kyyneleista aikaan saisi aika monta valtamerta
On taalla monta yksinaista, mutta
Niin paljon kiellettya rakkautta,
Nyt etten siita riita kertojaksi taulut eika ikavoivat lemmenlaulut,
On taalla elama raskasta tyota
Ja siina harvemin on onni myota,
Sen tietaa vain, yksin suomalainen
kertosae:
On pohjantahden alla
Taa koti mulla mainen,
Ma elamasta laulan,
Silla oonhan suomalainen
Ma rakkaudesta laulan,
On siina mies ja nainen
Pohjantahden alla,
Elaa suomalainen
On tassa maassa itsepainen kansa,
Ystavat jos pitaa toisistansa,
Ei siina erottaa muu, silloin voi kuin yksin kuolema ja virkavalta vain,
Me kaymme vastamakeen sielu surren,
Mutt' sita nousemme hammasta purren,
Me mutkan jalkeen kaymme mutkaan nahdaksemme,
ettei kannattanutkaan
On taalla elama raskasta tyota,
Ja siina harvemmin on onni myota,
Sen tietaa vain, yksin suomalainen.
On pohjantahden alla
Taa koti mulla mainen,
Ma elamasta laulan,
Silla oonhan suomalainen
Ma rakkaudesta laulan,
On siina mies ja nainen
Pohjantahden alla,
Elaa suomalainen

(translation)

It's under the north
This home is earthy,
I sing about living,
I am a Finn
Oh, if you knew the world,
Now what could be under the sky,
There is a nation here whose tears would bring quite a few oceans
There are many lonely ones out there, though
So much forbidden love,
Now, as a narrator, I don't argue about the paintings and don't miss the favorite songs,
There is hard work here
And it's less fortunate to sell,
Only a Finn knows that
chorus:
It's under the north
This home is earthy,
I sing about living,
Because I am a Finn
I sing about love
There is a man and a woman
Under the Northern star,
A Finn lives
There is a stubborn people in this country,
Friends if you like each other
There is no difference, then only death and authority alone,
We mourn in response to the sorrow of the soul,
But we're biting our teeth,
After the bend, we dig into the bend to see,
not even worth it
There is hard work here,
And it's less fortunate to sell,
Only a Finn knows that.
It's under the north
This home is earthy,
I sing about living,
Because I am a Finn
I sing about love
There is a man and a woman
Under the Northern star,
A Finn lives
