The song, from Runeberg's poem about the war when Russia won Finland from Sweden in 1809, was suggested to be the Swedish national anthem aswell, but instead we have "Du gamla du fria" which actually is about the whole of the northern countries.
The Finnish and the Estonian national anthems share the melody, but the lyrics - naturally - differ. The melody is not, to our knowledge, sung in Sweden.
This is just the Finnish anthem being sung in Swedish. The Finnish and Estonian anthem have the same melody, but have different lyrics and are sung in different langauges. As for Sweden, they do not have an official national anthem, however "Du gamla, du fria" is universally seen as the anthem of the Swedish people.
@@northbreeze0111 It wasn't copied by the Finns as Runeberg was Finnish himself. It was just translated to Finnish and slapped on a German melody that both Finland and Estonia use.
Tror inte finnarna äns förstår hur stort det som svensk är att höra detta. Är snudd på obeskrivligt vackert. TACK FINLAND!

Den sången Du gamla du fria" valdes för vi fortfarande var i union med Norge. Sången Sverige flagga var också ett förslag.
Tårar i ögonen!
Påminner mig om en sovjetisk kör. När jag kom till Sankt Petersburg ljöd en liknande kör där.
I like this. I like russian language. Sounds beautiful .
It is in Swedish, one of Finland's official languages, the language of our choir, and the language the poem was originally written in.
today i learned that enstonia sweden and finland have the same anthem

It's not the Swedish anthem but Runeberg who wrote this song wrote it in Swedish. It was then copied by the Finns and Estonians.
