Suomi Finland

Suomi Finland... Finland is a country of thousands of lakes. The Finnish landscape is mostly flat with few hills.Finland has four seasons. The distance from the southernmost to the northernmost point in the country is 1455 km (898 miles). Most of the Finnish people (92%) speak Finnish as their mother tongue.

A literal translation of the lyrics would be:

O, Finland, behold, your day is dawning, The threat of night has been banished away, And the lark of morning in the brightness sings, As though the very firmament would sing. The powers of the night are vanquished by the morning light, Your day is dawning, O land of birth. O, rise, Finland, raise up high Your head, wreathed with great memories. O, rise, Finland, you showed to the world That you drove away the slavery, And that you did not bend under oppression, Your day is dawning, O land of birth.
