Original text and translations

Swedish text Vårt land, vårt land, vårt fosterland ljud högt, o dyra ord! Ej lyfts en höjd mot himlens rand, ej sänks en dal, ej sköls en strand mer älskad än vår bygd i nord, än våra fäders jord. Din blomning, sluten än i knopp, skall mogna ur sitt tvång se, ur, vår kärlek skall gå opp ditt ljus, din glans, din fröjd, ditt hopp och högra klinga skall en gång vår fosterlandska sång.

Finnish text Oi maamme, Suomi synnyinmaa! Soi sana kultainen! Ei laaksoa, ei kukkula, ei vettä rantaa rakkaampaa kuin kotimaa tää pohjoinen. Maa kallis isien. Sun kukoistukses kuorestaan kerrankin puhkeaa viel' lempemme saa nousemaan sun toivos, riemus loistossaan, ja kerran laulus, synnyinmaa korkeemman kai un saa.
