| Varttui mieheksi nuorukainen
| A young man grew up
|
| Vannoi valan maalleen
| I swore to his country
|
| Käydä kimppuun vainolaisten
| Attack the persecutors
|
| Kruunuksi kunnialleen
| Crowned in honor
|
| Velvoitteesta isänmaansa
| Obligation to his homeland
|
| Tarttui käsi miekkaan
| Grabbed his hand with the sword
|
| Rajan taakse kantoi sappaat
| Behind the border he wore boots
|
| Maan vieraan hiekkaan
| In the foreign sand of the earth
|
| Taistoon ryntäsi vierellä veljen
| The battle rushed next to the brother
|
| Kaatui ystävä rinnaltaan
| A friend fell by his side
|
| Valuiko veri turhaan?
| Did the blood drain in vain?
|
| Kuolo korjas satoaan
| Death reaps its harvest
|
| Raskas taakka harteillansa
| Heavy burden on his shoulders
|
| Alkoi askel painaa
| The step began to weigh
|
| Takoi pelko rinnassansa
| Feared fear in his chest
|
| Olenko kohta vainaa?
| Am I about to die?
|
| Taistoon ryntäsi viereltä vieraan
| The battle rushed next to the guest
|
| Kaatui veljensä rinnaltaan
| Crashed alongside his brother
|
| Valuiko veri turhaan?
| Did the blood drain in vain?
|
| Taas niitti kuolema satoaan
| Again, death reaped its harvest
|
| Vala vannottu mielessä murtui
| The oath sworn in his mind broke
|
| Kruunu kunnian haalistui
| The crown of glory faded
|
| Kädet kaukana vieraalla maalla
| Hands far away in a foreign land
|
| Vereen veljensä tahriintui
| His brother was stained with blood
|
| Pakokauhuksi pelkonsa muuttui
| Their fear turned into an escape horror
|
| Enää näkisi ei kotiaan
| No more seeing their home
|
| Saappaat mutaiseen maahan juuttui
| The boots got stuck in the muddy ground
|
| Odottamaan noutajaa
| To wait for the pick-up
|
| Maahan kaatui — siihen maatui
| He fell to the ground - he fell to it
|
| Korutonta kertomaa
| Rustic story
|
| Maahan kaatui — siihenmaatui
| He fell to the ground - he fell to it
|
| Ei pelkkää tarinaa
| Not just a story
|
| Vala vannottu mielessä murtui
| The oath sworn in his mind broke
|
| Kruunu kunnian haalistui
| The crown of glory faded
|
| Kädet kaukana vieraalla maalla
| Hands far away in a foreign land
|
| Vereen veljensä tahriintui
| His brother was stained with blood
|
| Taistoon ryntäsi viereltä vieraan
| The battle rushed next to the guest
|
| Kaatui puolesta isänmaan
| Crashed on behalf of the motherland
|
| Ruumis vieraaseen multaan maatui
| The body sank into foreign soil
|
| Kukaan tullut ei hakemaan | No one came to pick it up |
