Hello!
The lyrics you were looking for:
Finlandia Hymni
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!
In English
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!
Lyrics you did read aaren't translation to Finlandia hymn, but separate different clyrics to to English/American song, I think it is "This my Country" which uses same music...
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!
Those are the lyrics translated to english...
No, you were right in the way you heard it. The original version Sibelius made had no lyrics and was about Finland fighting and rising through Russian oppression
This Sibelius Finlandia is so important to me. Brings tears to my eyes every time I listen it. Thank you.
finlandia is so beautiful, brings tears in my eyes every time.
Same here ❤
Same here 😢❤
🙋
Same, I keep bawling like little kid with snot bleeding from me nose while also singing the lyrics. This shouuld be our national hymn, not that Estonian/German drinking song we have now...
This song makes me cry every time. It just makes me proud to be born in this nation that wouldn't even exist if things would've gone other way.
As A Finn always listening this purponally just listen😢🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
Here's a rudimentary translation of the lyrics, they are hopeful but refer to the night, slavery and oppression:
O Finland, look, your day is dawning,
The threat of night has been banished,
And the lark of morning in the brightness sings,
As if the sky dome itself was ringing.
The powers of night are vanquished by the morning light,
Your day is dawning, O homeland.
O rise, Finland, raise up high
Your head, wreathed with great memories.
O rise, Finland, you showed to the world
That you drove away slavery,
And that you did not bend under oppression,
Your morning is beginning, O homeland.
Sibelius was always very popular in Canada. His music was inspired by the history of his country, but also by its landscape. Finland is a land of lakes and forests that looks almost exactly like much of Quebec and Ontario. For that reason, when Finns came to Canada, they often settled in places like Sudbury and Thunder Bay. The Finns often formed close bonds with Canada's First Nations, and often intermarried with Cree, Ojibway, Metis and French Canadian families because they felt a similarity to them, all being "people of the forest" used to cold winters, hard work, and hard play. Where I grew up, the Cree elders often said that the Finns were "just like us" because they use the Sauna, which is exactly the same as our Sweat Hut.
Finlandia is not the official national anthem of Finland, but it is the one piece of music that is the most closely associated with Finland. It calls up the same emotions that Félix Leclerc's "Mon Pays" does.
Finland is a country with two official languages. The majority speaks Finnish, but a minority speaks Swedish. Sibelius was born into a Swedish-speaking family, but he was fluent in both languages, and eventually learned several European languages. Much of his music draws on ancient Finnish mythology, and the poems of the Kalevala, which is a long epic made from traditional stories, which involve gods, goddesses, heroes and spirits of the forest.
Those lyrics you looked up are not the lyrics of Finlandia. At some point in history someone took the melody of Finlandia and turned it into a church hymn and those are the lyrics to that. Also, Finlandia is not the national anthem of Finland. Technically speaking Finland doesn't have an official national anthem, but the song 'Maamme' that you looked up after listening to Finlandia is considered the de facto national anthem. Finlandia is a very beloved and extremely important song though and there are many people who would love to have it as the national anthem. I personally think it's too important to be played at every sporting event and other such occasions so I'm happy with 'Maamme' being the de facto national anthem.
There are other lyricised Finlandias. One was eventually & grudgingly accepted by Sibelius. That is the one choirs the world over, sing.
The "My Song" lyrics are not the right words for the Finlandia. It's different song. My Song words are for an American church hymn, which uses the Finlandia hymn melody. Finlandia hymn's lyric are about Finnish history and how it survived the Russian opression to be an independent nation.
Finlandia hymn is an instrumental piece and the so called "lyrics" by V. A. Koskenniemi are horrible drivel.
Those are not the (original) lyrics of Finlandia. If I had to guess, I'd guess those are the lyrics of American church hymn, witch is Finlandia music with new lyrics.
Lyrics of Finlandia (aka Finlandia Hymn):
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!
On the fly translation of the previous:
Oh Finland, look, your day will dawn,
the threat of the night has been banished,
and the morning lark is playing/singing brightly
like (whole) heaven was ringing-sounding.
Morning light defeats the nights powers,
your day will come, oh land of birth!
Oh rise, Finland, lift up high,
your head wreath by grand memories,
oh rise, Finland, you showed the world
that you banished the slavery
and didnt bend under the oppression
your morning has begun, land of birth!
Actually, those are the original lyrics of Finlandia hymn, in Finnish language, written ~ 1940.
@@TurmoilDot I was talking about the lyrics they are looking in the video, from 11:18 onwards... The Finnish lyrics I posted are the lyrics of Finlandia hymn and the English lyrics after it are my translation of them, for comparison, so that English speakers see the difference.
Finlandia is the story of Finland under foreign subjugation, its fight for liberty and the final joy of gaining its freedom. It is stunning!
yea, that dark side is Russia.
Is there any bright sides..... NO
Hello, God Bless you all nice people from different countries who are appreaciting and respecting the national compose of Jean Sibelius for Finland and finnish people for it´s independence.
Not a dry eye in the house.........
Dark side, war coming… east
Here is a translation of the lyrics:
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 sound,
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!
It's not very literal translation.
"O Finland of ours" should be "Oh the land of birth"
This song has always been my favorite song and favorite classical music peace since I was a child hearing it the first time. The build up is amazing and all the feelings it conveys. The change in the atmosphere with every chapter and how it twines to each new instrument. The buildup is something that I can feel in my skin. And then comes the choir quiet at start but building up power till the end every word carrying deep meaning giving the song even more weight. I have never stopped feeling strong emotion while listening to this.
Every Finn can feel this music and understand it without even lyrics. Starts with the our country being under Russia, Finland being hopeful to get independence, fighting starts etc.
Max & Sujy, this is a piece that was composed by Sibelius while living under Russian occupation, years after Russia had invaded and subjugated Finland, deporting thousands of Finns to Siberia. (Much like what Putin is doing to Ukraine right now.)
The music is about the Finns overcoming Russia's brutal occupation and Finland regaining its independence, even when there appears no hope of doing so.
For just the hymn, this "flashmob" version recorded at the Helsinki Central Railway Station is pretty cool: th-cam.com/video/jaKko3VGAnY/w-d-xo.html
Finland independed 100 Years concert jubilee…
I'm glad you chose this performance. Spectacular and emotional.
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!
(This translation of Koskenniemi´s text is by Keith Bosley.)
Wonderful to see you pay attention!!! Very much appreciated. I recommend the short version of 3min...
I get goosebumps everytime i hear this song.
This is masterpiece! Thanks to yours reactions.
Its must listen cruel,If you live in russian neighbourhood😂 hey from Finland🤫
My Precious Fatherland.
Performed Finlandia once inside the Nordic Museum in Seattle. You could sense the joy in the building.
Wars against vikings , wars aainst russia , dozen tribewars, political war 1905 - 6, political war 1917-1918(partly i ww) , preparing next war against Russia short peace and next war against russia etc. Pain has made this music.Time to time I cannot listen to it. You can hear wake - hope - rise - totalo crush - little hope then rise etc ....
Average life expectancy was less than 40 when he lived.
The beginning describes bubbles. Rapids and backwaters.A Finnish mental landscape.
Dude's eyeballs had a hard time remaining in their sockets at the beginning. I can vouch for that! (Don't worry, it's normal for anyone experiencing this piece for the first time)
Thanks for sharing and your comments. The composer has other goodies to share.
🙏🥀🩵🥀🙏
Second song is Finland national song.
Finlandia .. So beautiful ...
The text shown at the end has nothing to dpo with the poem they arre singing.
Finlandias lyrics in English is awful! Story is so different in Finnish.
Last time I heard it live was at a concert in London
at the Royal Festival Hall on 6 December
(Finland's Independence Day from Russia)
In a concert of all Finnish music.
They did the choral version that night as well
and we all stood for it too.
Good reactions. I am from Finland where this song is from, and we from Finland like to speak what's really on our minds, which I did now. So, thank you. :)
Bad quality.
Die Hard movie
Greetings from Finland! I always cry when I am listening Finlandia. ❤
Hello there!
Sibelius... 🤣🤣🤣🤣😎😎
Hello Max and Sujy! I accidentally stumbled upon you and this music performance on youtube. As a Finn, I am familiar with Sibelius and Finlandia he composed. While listening it now, for some inexplicable reason, power of the music brought the emotions to the surface and I almost burst into tears...Thank you for playing this and sharing your experience, it brought this special moment to me today... Isn't the power of music amazing?😇
Yes it is! Thank you! :)
The horn you wondered at is the French horn (or simply "horn").
10:30 They are different songs. Finlandia is not the Finnish national hymn. "Maamme"/"Maamme laulu" has that honour.
i like u boddys real musiclovers
For more Finnish classical music; Einojuhani Rautavaara was among the most notable Finnish composers since Jean Sibelius: "Einojuhani Rautavaara - Piano Concerto No. 1 (1969)" and Kaija Saariaho was regarded as one of the most significant composers of our time: "Kaija Saariaho : Laterna Magica".
I love Finlandia. Motion come to surfise every time i hear it.
i remember i heard this song die hard 2 movie and one episode in walking dead tv series. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful weekend.
Finlandia
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 sound,
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!
Try also something different from Sibelius like Karelia Suite or small pieces like ”Kuusi”.

you two are cool...
Thank you!
I loved your reaction. Every time I hear that piece I see the forests, lakes, rivers etc. in my mind.
Finlandia is Hymm
Finlandia hymn is the lyrical version of this song that what mixed into this version and many finns like me consider it to be the real national anthem, or at least on par. You should maybe watch Finlandia hymn with translated subtitles to underatand why it means so much to us.
Tears are just coming out of my eyes, this happens every time i hear this. Im 38 old man from Finland and i have heard Finlandia many times and it still happens. Its just amazing masterpiece, cant describe the feeling i get from it ❤️
We are the same age!!
Finlandia indeed represents Finland the most on a deepest possible way, from children to elderly. It is played on a movie called Tuntematon sotilas/Unknown Soldier (1955), which is showed on TV every year on our independence day. Its so emotional that once a year is definitely enough!
Well said. The Beauty is Finland and the Beast is Russia, but they don't love each other.
The best piece of music for testing and shopping for high-end, super-detailed-driven speakers and amplifier.

Hi, greetings from Finland, just saw your reactions.. Great! Well, as yoy felt, that theme is all Finland raising till the end of independence. You were great ! Thank you!
Thank youU!
Globally the song part is best known from the spiritual song Be still my soul. We also sang it on my late wife's memorial.
Maamme-laulu
Not national anthem, but
This is like "birthday of Finland" - song.
Kiitos paljon.
the words of the song should be understood. the best song in the world
Listen to Flashmob Finlandia....
Kiitos (thank you)!
Oi kallis Suomen maa
It describes history of Finland between wars with USSR. There was war, peace, war again and finally peace. "O Finland, rise up, lift up high. My head is wreathed, with great memories..." tells it all. That is the peace time part of that song.
❤
wow, beautiful song
