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 seppälöimä suurten muistojen,

oi nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle

sä että karkoitit orjuuden

ja ettet taipunut sä sorron alle,

on aamus alkanut, synnyinmaa.

Swedish translation by Joel Rundt.

O, Finland, se, din morgonljusning randas,

och natten skingras hotfullt mörk och lång.

Hör lärkans röst med rymdens susning blandas,

snart rymden fylles av jubelsång.

Se natten flyr och fritt du åter andas.

Din morgon ljusnar, o fosterland.

Stig högt, vårt land, som du ur natt dig höjde.

Den dag dig väntar, fritt och öppet möt

med samma kraft, med samma mod, du röjde,

när träldomsoket du sönderbröt.

Förtrycket aldrig dig till jorden böjde,

Ditt verk väntar, o fosterland.

English translation by Keith Bosley.

Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning,

the threat of night has now been driven away.

The skylark calls across the light of morning,

the blue of heaven lets it have its way,

and now the day the powers of night is scorning:

thy daylight dawns, O Finland of ours!

Finland, arise, and raise towards the highest

thy head now crowned with mighty memory.

Finland, arise, for to the world thou criest

that thou hast thrown off thy slavery,

beneath oppression´s yoke thou never liest.

Thy morning´s come, O Finland of ours!
