The Land Of Hope And Glory |
| Far away, where the sunshine never fades |
| There lies this land, the greatest of tales |
| A strong golden gate now slowly moves aside |
| In walks a man, exhausted by the tide |
| Finally, I’ve reached my destiny |
| I’ve crossed the western sea for the land of hope an glory |
| In front of me stands the glorious grand city |
| A feeling that I can breathe, and be free |
| Surrounding golden walls, finest marble covers the halls |
| Silver-plated streets that glimmer and shine |
| Statues, monuments and fountains filled with wine |
| And trees nearly touching the sky |
| In the land of hope and glory |
| I head to the greatest hall |
| Take a deep breath and open the door |
| Is this the land of hope and glory? |
| Sitting on a golden throne |
| An ape holding a scepter of bone |
| It utters: «The die is cast.» |
| Surrounding golden walls… |
| Reminiscence |
| Echoes from the homeland |
| Kaikuen laulu raikaa takaa ulapan |
| Kotimaan rannat kutsuu poikaa Pohjolan |
| Hoist the sails, it’s time to leave these lands behind |
| Rain or hail won’t stop me, I have made up my mind |
| Surrounded by dark emptiness |
| The sea is cold and merciless |
| All alone, I’m heading home |
| Over the vast sea, wide and so deep |
| Ahti I greet thee, I’m heading home! |
| The wind is rising, cold and biting |
| Ilmarinen I greet thee |
| Northern shores — I’m home |
| No surrounding golden walls, no marble covered halls |
| No silver-plated streets that glimmer and shine |
| No statues, monuments nor fountains filled with wine |
| Only trees touching the sky |
| Far away, where sunshine never fades |
