I dont understand a single word but thats by far the most beautiful hymn I've ever heard. You can really feel the emotions in there, gives me a shiver.
Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning,1 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!
The place is the main hall of the Helsinki central railway station, and a large part of the singers were from Ylioppilaskunnan laulajat (YL, University singers) and Polyteknikkojen kuoro (Polytech choir), the by far most well known male choirs in Finland. The conductor in this video is Pasi Hyökki, YL's artistic director.
It can be difficult for non-Finns to properly understand the impact Jean Sibelius and the Finlandia Hymn had on Finland's independence movement. Sibelius captured the mood of an entire people that had, patiently, been a province of other empires for a very long time, but was ready to be a new nation. Every time I watch this video, tears come to my eyes, with pride. Finland started poor - and weak - and now it is strong, comfortable, and stable. Suomi - our heart for Finns still there, and for Finns overseas - we are all one, and we are so proud of what our people have done and overcome.
I moved away from Finland about 5 years ago. I regularly come to listen this and cry my eyes out. Finland has it¨s challenges and the weather is what it is but I have come to love, for lack of a better expression, the "Finnish spirit". Even though these are often idealized there is something so beautiful and unique about how a poor populace rose to be one of the most advanced nations through honest work, egalitarian values and stoic perseverance. It is sad to see these values eroded via using peoples ignorance to further hateful xenophobic populist rhetoric and austerity measures directed towards the poor :/
Good! That means they probably failed at what they aimed for. They work against their own interest with this video. But what I said is happening. It is their goal to not directly attack patriotism or independence celebration but to re-define it. Finnishness has nothing to do with multiculturalism or tolerance but that is what they are trying to make it into. Patriotism is the love for your country and defending the interest of your own people. But now if you say that you're not a "patriot" but a "nazi". Finland gained independence in 1917 so next year in 2017 it's the 100th anniversary. I don't know if I should eagerly wait for the celebration or prepare to see something very depressing when it's actually all about refugees and tolerance again and not about celebrating our nation and its independence and culture. The official cabinet in charge of financing different events and projects for the anniversary consists of leftists and even has a far-left rap artist who waves around Antifa flags in his music videos (???). They have already spent hundreds of thousands of euros on refugee and multiculture-related projects instead of actually financing something related to Finns... Antifa in Finland uses, as its symbols, images like a man putting the Finnish flag into a trash can and a fist breaking apart the coat of arms of Finland and the symbol of our police. That is the kind of people who are chosen for whatever reason to finance our independence celebration. Not someone who loves our country.
I don't know the Finish lyrics. But we sing these in English: This is my song, O God of all the nations, a song of peace for lands afar and 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 cloverleaf 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.
This sort of love for country and countrymen - so beautifully expressed - is sorely in need, no matter what country one calls home. Thanks for reminding us what it looks and sounds like.

Don't you never ever forget your roots here in Finland or elsewhere also, that is what you are now with your family has raised you. No matter where you are, your origin should never be forgotten
You are absolutely right, mate. This is an exerpt from the symphonic poem Finlandia (op. 26) by Jean Sibelius. Composed in 1899-1900, almost two decades before we finally gained our independence.
Proud of Finland, I had the opportunity to go there as an exchange student and it was the best experience of my life. Didn't expect the central station to have such good acoustics :)

Oi Suomi, katso, sinun päiväs' koittaa, yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois, ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa kuin itse taivahan kansi sois'.

Finland, behold, your day has now come dawning; Banished is night, its menace gone with light, Larks' song again in morning-brightness ringing, Filling the air to heaven's great height, And morning's glow, night's darkness overcoming; Your day is come, o my native land. O Finland, rise, stand proud, the future facing, Your valiant deeds recalling, once again; O Finland rise, in the world's sight erasing From your fair brows vile slavery's stain. You were not broken by oppressors ruling; Your morn has come, o my native land.
Could you please say something about where these beautiful words came from. I would truly appreciate anything I could know. They are sweet inspiration to my soul. Thank You so much....Sam in East Texas.
@@driverain2 The melody is written by Jean Sibelius in 1899, during the times of Russian oppression. This was later complemented by the lyrics (typically sung by a male choir) by V. A. Koskenniemi. The original works written by Sibelius were symphonic poems about the tribulations of the Finnish people, mixed in with some of our folklore. The lyrics to this particular hymn were written in 1940, after the winter war against Soviet Russia.
Today,may8 , 2022 , a young prime female minister of Finland visited Japan We are deeply grateful, delighted, and moving Many Japanese deeply love and respect Sibelius and Finland people May Finlandbe glorious, prosperous, and peaceful From A corner of Tokyo where spring is in full bloom🇯🇵㊗️
Thank you so much. I have worked with Japanese people and have a lot of dear Japanese friends. I have always felt togetherness with Japanese people. Sending all my love and best wishes from Finland
I can honestly say that we consider the Japanese kindred spirits in a way. A culture of hard work ethic and reserved representation and appreciation for cleanliness and order, with a strong passion for whatever a person chooses to dedicate their life to. I was fortunate enough to spend a month traveling Japan and it's definitely one of the best places I've ever had the pleasure of visiting.
Whenever I'm feeling a bit wistful, I listen/watch this amazing rendition of Sibelius' Finlandia. Every note is sung with such feeling, it is such a moving song.
I always felt patriotic for Finland I don't know why. Probably a finnish would look weird at me when I would tell him I'm romanian and yeah you know there's a big cultural difference between nordic and balkan nations, but I swear to you I love Finland and I fucking love finnish language.
It brings me to tears too and I'm an American from Philadelphia, the birth place of freedom in a country which endured slavery at it inception. It's called -"This is my song" in our our Daily Mass hymnals with credit to Jean Sibelius .I know about the Russo-Finnish war and the bravery the Finns showed against the Russians. Every time It's played at Mass, I sing it but can't make it through our translation where it says other countries have skies as blue as my country. This line just exemplifies the brotherhood which should exist between different countries of the world. And to think of all the wars which were fought over stupid things and the lives which were lost fighting those wars. So, what I say is let them listen to this song and see if they would wage war and if they would start a war,let them fear bravery and honor like the Finns showed in 1939.
+Daniel Wilson --I said THE BIRTHPLACE OF FREEDOM IN A COUNTRY(USA) - not the world,lol this. Are you quick to comment and laugh at Americans Daniel Wilson ?
LOL indeed, freedom! What's that? Never feeling that before, I don't even know what that word means. Do you? "None are more hopelessly enslaved, than those who falsely believe they are free." - JWVG - Exactly. And of course. What John Adams say a long time ago, that reminds me that what the world has ALWAYS been, by the - cults, societies, governments, organizations, countries and of course biggest jokes - religions. "There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by sword, the other is by debt." - John Adams. That sounds so familiar, nothing hasn't changed. I will sing that beautiful song of our country, which is on this video, when all those things has fall, which is never. I did born here as slave, and I will die here as slave.
Philadelphia is the area where Finns first settled in what's now the USA. It was within the Swedish colony in the colonial time already. Finns are said to have had good relationships with the indigenous people. Both respected nature, and knew how to live in the woods with a respect towards the nature. When Philadelphia was founded, it was a common effort by the Dutch, English and Swedes + Finns. John Morton (rendered from Mårtensson, Marttinen the Finnish original -'Martins' or the kind) from that Finnish community gave the decisive vote for the birth of the US, the Pennsylvania vote. He was also the chairman of the legislative committee, when they made the first laws, the constitution: the Articles of Confederation. At least so says Wiki. Well, he was a lawyer of the supreme court, so should be legit.
I lived in Springfield, one half a kilometer away from Morton, Pa. In Philadelphia I have driven past Old Swedes Church on Front street 1000 times. The City of Philadelphia's flag is yellow and blue in Tribute to the Swedes. Never knew Finns were included with the Swede Immigration to Philly, but it makes sense.
Tackar Dennis, den här Jean Sibelius låt betyder så mycket och det finns så mycket känslor med äldre människor men också många av ungdomar har starka känslor när man hör det här låten, altt för sällan (Förlåt min dåligt svenska men jag försökte åtminstone) Ha det bra där i Sverige Komissaren Beck och Wallander vad vi älskar här, så vi glömmer inte svenska so fort
Wow! Outstanding voices. What a powerful two minutes. I grew up in the US singing (and loving) Sibelius' stunningly beautiful tune as part of an English-language church hymn. To hear it here, in Helsinki, like this? WOWOW.
I've never heard the original words to this, in Wales we sing "Gweddi Dros Gymru" to this tune, and has always been one of my favourites, it gives me goosebumps
It doesn't actually have original words. It was composed by Sibelius without words, but still the Russian authorities didn't like it much because they understood it was used in contexts promoting Finnish resistance to the Russian oppression/Russification. If it had had lyrics like this back then, I imagine folks would have been arrested for inciting rebellion against the Russian empire. Consequently these particular lyrics are from 1940, right after the Winter War. There exist different lyrics, from different countries, like you noted. From what I've understood, Sibelius himself was never thrilled about any lyrics on principle, but a little bit grudgingly he accepted them.
This amount of instant brotherhood gained by singing is similar to Liverpool FC’s ‘you’ll never walk alone’ which is sure to bring a tear to anyone’s eye . I’m from Liverpool and I’m learning to learn finnish as I might move to Tampere, this video shows how close finnish people are together and how much of a bond everyone has for each other. I fully respect the people who organised this , kiitos ja ‘encore’ ole hyvä!
Much love to your home in Finland. I hope you find ppl who can speak real English, and I hope all the volume in your Finnish learning. Saatat hämmästyä kielemme kiemuroita🙂
Vuosia sitten isäni näytti tämän minulle ja vielä tänäkin päivänä palaan katsomaan koko viedeon aina uudelleen. Eniten voi olla ylpeä siitä että miten monet ihmiset heittäytyivät mukaan ja lauloivat sydämestään❤
If i happened to walk thru there while they were singing, I would totally have participated. This song is literally living in my blood and the lyrics makes silences me every time.
One of the most moving compositions ever written. This is a great performance. We love it so much in Wales, we sing a Welsh lyric to it. It is referred to by two names: Dros Gymru'n Gwlad (Finlandia), or: Gweddi Dros Gymru (Finlandia). It is a very patriotic lyric, and can serve as a second national anthem.
I am always thankful to hear this beautiful proud song. And I think of all these who fought with us to gave their blood for their home. A last Thank For All from Germany.
You can feel their love for their country.

You're welcome. Your home is where your ♥ is.
Finland, behold, your day has now come dawning;
Banished is night, its menace gone with light,
Larks' song again in morning-brightness ringing,
Filling the air to heaven's great height,
And morning's glow, night's darkness overcoming;
Your day is come, o my native land.
O Finland, rise, stand proud, the future facing,
Your valiant deeds recalling, once again;
O Finland rise, in the world's sight erasing
From your fair brows vile slavery's stain.
You were not broken by oppressors ruling;
Your morn has come, o my native land.
Could you please say something about where these beautiful words came from. I would truly appreciate anything I could know. They are sweet inspiration to my soul. Thank You so much....Sam in East Texas.
@@driverain2 The melody is written by Jean Sibelius in 1899, during the times of Russian oppression. This was later complemented by the lyrics (typically sung by a male choir) by V. A. Koskenniemi. The original works written by Sibelius were symphonic poems about the tribulations of the Finnish people, mixed in with some of our folklore. The lyrics to this particular hymn were written in 1940, after the winter war against Soviet Russia.
The firmament echoes the skylark's song. So delighted this is delivered to you there♥@@driverain2
Kiitos from 🏴! Beautiful.. 💗💗💗
the sound of this choir in this echoy building is awesome
Today,may8 , 2022 ,

Jep sanna Marin or kissat Marin lol
Thank you so much. I have worked with Japanese people and have a lot of dear Japanese friends. I have always felt togetherness with Japanese people. Sending all my love and best wishes from Finland
I can honestly say that we consider the Japanese kindred spirits in a way. A culture of hard work ethic and reserved representation and appreciation for cleanliness and order, with a strong passion for whatever a person chooses to dedicate their life to. I was fortunate enough to spend a month traveling Japan and it's definitely one of the best places I've ever had the pleasure of visiting.

Thankyou
I hope You are well

Thankyou
I hope You are well
Japan waits for You
That was absolutely beautiful. Proud to be a Finn
Outstanding! These men truly know how to sing! They sing with their hearts!
Nyt on tyttö ylpeä isästään, eikä aiheetta.
Whenever I'm feeling a bit wistful, I listen/watch this amazing rendition of Sibelius' Finlandia. Every note is sung with such feeling, it is such a moving song.
Very power yet very sad . Even sitting here in FL I could feel it!
2:06 hats off to that gentleman.
I always felt patriotic for Finland I don't know why. Probably a finnish would look weird at me when I would tell him I'm romanian and yeah you know there's a big cultural difference between nordic and balkan nations, but I swear to you I love Finland and I fucking love finnish language.
You the Man. What straight thinking and attitude. Awesome, my friend.
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää
Hyvää suomi101
This made me cry. I love this country!
Wonderful. Best wishes from the UK (help us!).
It brings me to tears too and I'm an American from Philadelphia, the birth place of freedom in a country which endured slavery at it inception. It's called -"This is my song" in our our Daily Mass hymnals with credit to Jean Sibelius .I know about the Russo-Finnish war and the bravery the Finns showed against the Russians. Every time It's played at Mass, I sing it but can't make it through our translation where it says other countries have skies as blue as my country. This line just exemplifies the brotherhood which should exist between different countries of the world. And to think of all the wars which were fought over stupid things and the lives which were lost fighting those wars. So, what I say is let them listen to this song and see if they would wage war and if they would start a war,let them fear bravery and honor like the Finns showed in 1939.
"the birth place of freedom" lol do Americans really think in this way?
+Daniel Wilson --I said THE BIRTHPLACE OF FREEDOM IN A COUNTRY(USA) - not the world,lol this. Are you quick to comment and laugh at Americans Daniel Wilson ?
LOL indeed, freedom! What's that? Never feeling that before, I don't even know what that word means. Do you?
"None are more hopelessly enslaved, than those who falsely believe they are free." - JWVG - Exactly.
And of course. What John Adams say a long time ago, that reminds me that what the world has ALWAYS been, by the - cults, societies, governments, organizations, countries and of course biggest jokes - religions.
"There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by sword, the other is by debt." - John Adams. That sounds so familiar, nothing hasn't changed.
I will sing that beautiful song of our country, which is on this video, when all those things has fall, which is never.
I did born here as slave, and I will die here as slave.
Philadelphia is the area where Finns first settled in what's now the USA.
It was within the Swedish colony in the colonial time already.
Finns are said to have had good relationships with the indigenous people.
Both respected nature, and knew how to live in the woods with a respect towards the nature.
When Philadelphia was founded, it was a common effort by the Dutch, English and Swedes + Finns.
John Morton (rendered from Mårtensson, Marttinen the Finnish original -'Martins' or the kind) from that Finnish community gave the decisive vote for the birth of the US, the Pennsylvania vote. He was also the chairman of the legislative committee, when they made the first laws, the constitution: the Articles of Confederation. At least so says Wiki. Well, he was a lawyer of the supreme court, so should be legit.
I lived in Springfield, one half a kilometer away from Morton, Pa. In Philadelphia I have driven past Old Swedes Church on Front street 1000 times. The City of Philadelphia's flag is yellow and blue in Tribute to the Swedes. Never knew Finns were included with the Swede Immigration to Philly, but it makes sense.
Tää on kuunneltava joka itsenäisyyspäivä 👍💗 ja itkettävä vuolaasti 😭🇫🇮
Paras Finlandia esitys 💗
This made me gasp and almost cry. Gotta love this freaking awesome country of ours!
I must say that this video gives me goosebumps everytime i watch! Very powerfull! Greetings from neighbor country Sweden!
Tackar Dennis, den här Jean Sibelius låt betyder så mycket och det finns så mycket känslor med äldre människor men också många av ungdomar har starka känslor när man hör det här låten, altt för sällan (Förlåt min dåligt svenska men jag försökte åtminstone) Ha det bra där i Sverige Komissaren Beck och Wallander vad vi älskar här, så vi glömmer inte svenska so fort
✋🏻
Love for one's country should never be seen as wrong, only forbidding others to love their own as well.
Brilliant, I’m still crying , well done guys👏👏👏💗🇦🇺
Pratar inte finska, men jag älskar ert land! Vilken vacker sång!
Enkel visdom, så skön. Älska bakom till dig från Åbo.
I was touched so much.
There is a reason why many think this is the true Finnish national anthem.... And they are correct...
Jep...
Jumalauta, että onli hieno esitys. Huikeeta!!!
Se on kiva tuon aloittajatenorin tyttö, kun tietää, mitä isi kohta kajauttaa, ja mitä sitten tapahtuu :-). Oikea suomi-neito. 😍
Finnish patriotism
Helvetin voimakas video. Mahtavaa kuinka random ihmisetkin alkoivst laulaa mukama!!
niin
kaikki kuuluu tohon kuoroon "YL", toki varmaan randomejakin, mutta hieno veto.
Wow! Outstanding voices. What a powerful two minutes. I grew up in the US singing (and loving) Sibelius' stunningly beautiful tune as part of an English-language church hymn. To hear it here, in Helsinki, like this? WOWOW.
Jumalan siunausta Suomelle 2021🙏
For the hummanity too
Tää saa mun kyyneleet valumaa joka kerta. / This makes my tears fall every time.
Best flashmob ever!
I think i must have Finnish blood.this piece stirs my soul like no other .
Very good! Brilliant acustic!
I've never heard the original words to this, in Wales we sing "Gweddi Dros Gymru" to this tune, and has always been one of my favourites, it gives me goosebumps
It doesn't actually have original words. It was composed by Sibelius without words, but still the Russian authorities didn't like it much because they understood it was used in contexts promoting Finnish resistance to the Russian oppression/Russification. If it had had lyrics like this back then, I imagine folks would have been arrested for inciting rebellion against the Russian empire. Consequently these particular lyrics are from 1940, right after the Winter War. There exist different lyrics, from different countries, like you noted. From what I've understood, Sibelius himself was never thrilled about any lyrics on principle, but a little bit grudgingly he accepted them.
We always forget how short a period the Russian regime was. The Swedish one is our real heritrage of almost a thousand years. @@herrakaarme
That must've sounded majestic in that big hall! Beautiful~
This warms my heart! Patriotism! I love this piece, the video, and these wonderfully patriotic people!
This amount of instant brotherhood gained by singing is similar to Liverpool FC’s ‘you’ll never walk alone’ which is sure to bring a tear to anyone’s eye .
I’m from Liverpool and I’m learning to learn finnish as I might move to Tampere, this video shows how close finnish people are together and how much of a bond everyone has for each other. I fully respect the people who organised this , kiitos ja ‘encore’ ole hyvä!
Much love to your home in Finland. I hope you find ppl who can speak real English, and I hope all the volume in your Finnish learning. Saatat hämmästyä kielemme kiemuroita🙂
Vuosia sitten isäni näytti tämän minulle ja vielä tänäkin päivänä palaan katsomaan koko viedeon aina uudelleen. Eniten voi olla ylpeä siitä että miten monet ihmiset heittäytyivät mukaan ja lauloivat sydämestään❤
Did random people sing along? I know I would've
If i happened to walk thru there while they were singing, I would totally have participated. This song is literally living in my blood and the lyrics makes silences me every time.
I don't know the lyrics (not Finnish), but I would definitely have hummed along.
@The Prometheas Pest part of these, is to see those spectators when performers just vanish among other people :D
I think many did
I reckon most Finns know the song, and I expect a fair number joined in.
Proud anthem! It sounds wonderful. Thanks for your all!!!
One of the most moving compositions ever written. This is a great performance.
We love it so much in Wales, we sing a Welsh lyric to it. It is referred to by two names: Dros Gymru'n Gwlad (Finlandia), or: Gweddi Dros Gymru (Finlandia). It is a very patriotic lyric, and can serve as a second national anthem.
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää 2019!
Gives me chills! What us humans can do when we cooperate is magnificent!
If only every people of every nation would be so "united"... very nice video
This is what national hymns sound like when they aren't written by conniving warhawks. Beautiful and melodic.
i love this patriotism
I am always thankful to hear this beautiful proud song. And I think of all these who fought with us to gave their blood for their home. A last Thank For All from Germany.
Don't forget also Estonian and Swedish volunteer soldiers who helped to avoid bigger losses
