During the winter war thousands of swedes came to help their Finish brothers may their memory live for ever.

Siis tää oli aivan ihana! Syvästi liikuttava, ja erittäin isänmaallinen esitys, mahtava kuoro <3 #PROUDFINNISH

[KillerKane]

Hyvaa itsenäisyyspäivää! Glad självständighetsdag! Happy Independence Day to Finns and Fennophiles all over the world.

We have been to Finland. What you need to understand is that this music is sacred to them.

Tämä laulu piristää minua, kun olen alhaalla ranskassa, Vaikka olen olut väkisin naturalisoitu ranskalaiseksi, pysyn silti suomalainen..

[carolcook]

I was born on the same day Sibelius died and am very proud of that fact

[felixmattsson]

I honestly don't know why we don't have this as our national anthem... All of my respect towards Runeberg, but our current national anthem pales in comparison to finlandia hymni

[botchamaniajeezus]

Oi Suomi, katso, sinun päiväs koittaa,
yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois,
ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa
kuin itse taivahan kansi sois.
Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa,
sun päiväs koittaa, oi synnyinmaa.

Oi nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle
pääs seppelöimä suurten muistojen,
oi nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle
sa että karkoitit orjuuden
ja ettet taipunut sa sorron alle,
on aamus alkanut, synnyinmaa.

[toomaseichenbaum]

Ilus !! Aga ei ole soome hümn..
Very moving !! But this is of course Sibelius' Finlandia.. not Finland's hymn though !!

[johnmcd]

I'm wondering if the Finnish lyrics are anything like this english translation? If you speak Finnish and english, I'd love to know. Peace!
FINLANDIA: This is my song, O God of all the nations
A song of peace, for lands afar & mine
This is my home, the country where my heart is
Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine
But other hearts in other lands are beating
With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine

My country's skies are bluer than the ocean
And sunlight beams on clover leaf and pine
But other lands have sunlight too, and clover
And skies are everywhere as blue as mine
O hear my song, thou God of all the nations
A song of peace for their land and for mine

[teguspa]

Viva Finlandia libre. Apoyo pleno a ese hermoso país frente al expansionismo nazi ruso

[WedgeBob]

The hymn that became "Be Still, My Soul."

[juhakinnunen]

Sinänsä hassua, että vielä vuonna 2015 oli ihan ok olla isänmaallinen.

[erajormakka]

Lepää rauhassa isoisä. Kolme sirpaletta selkään talvisodassa...

[mrbones]

Lots of white people. Proud and happy.
