Vilppulan Urhojen Muistolle with English Lyrics

This is a Finnish military marching song from the Civil War, it was a song of the White Army (Monarchist/Democratic), who fought the Reds in 1918 to stop Finland becoming a Communist dictatorship or puppet nation to the USSR (and won).
I decided to upload this with English lyrics as I myself do not speak fluent Finnish and thought there should be a version of this with English lyrics. I did change some parts slightly so it is not directly translated but still has the same meaning, I did this because, English been so different to Finnish, some bits are hard to understand, and didn't seem to fit.
Special thanks to Juispurg for helping with the translation.

For non-Finns who don't understand some references in the lyrics:
Ilkka - A Finnish patriot who lead the Clubbers Rebellion against the Swedish.
Kytösavu - A region and a town in Finland.
Evil East Land - Refering to Russia, which sent troops to Fight on the Red side in the war.
Utsjoki, Häme and Karelia - Regions in Finland.
Vilppula - A city in Finland which help out against the Reds in a famous battle.

Damn it I miss-spelled Ilkka :(

[CatholicSpaceNazi]

Whose is that kin, I don't care to mention

Utsjoki, Häme, the entire side of Karelia

Know the family of Ilkka

The work of Laurila and the chapter of Vilppula

something to sing about for the grandchildren

most beautiful chapter about the men of honor

So the heroes go to die.

We have tried to keep the oath pure:

Rushed towards the detestable East

All who could use a sword

And we'll keep it pure, now and forever

The yoke of slavery shall never burden us

We want to show those who fell in battles

This oath is unbreakable

[CatholicSpaceNazi]

Kaipa tässä voisi auttaa kun se Englanti tuntuu olevan niin hankalaa:

In the open fields of the land of Slash-and-burn is a nation

That has always cherished its freedom

Brave lads swore an oath there:

Begone slavery, or let us lose our lives

Like our fathers lost before us

It is an honor to die on the path of Freedom

This oath is unbreakable

Kuka halvattu näitä "energic step" -käännöksiä tekee. Hävettää.

@suomipoika90 Suomipoika olet kerrasssaankin oikeassa! Ei ryssä tänne tuu! ja punikeille on omat paikkansa!

[FFulmenTheFinnish]

Kytösavulla ei tarkoiteta paikkaa, vaan "kytösavua"...

[ristuksenvittu]

@CatholicSpaceNazi

it looks almost like google translation.

[CatholicSpaceNazi]

I think "Lyrics" is incorrect, "rewritten in English" might be closer to the truth.

[LapinPete]

Huonosti käännetty
