    • 1899/1900 (music), 1940 (lyrics), “Finlandia”, V. A. Koskenniemi (lyrics), Jean Sibelius (music), English translation by Keith Bosley:
      Oi Suomi, katso, Sinun päiväs koittaa,
      Yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois
      Ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa,
      Kuin itse taivahan kansi sois
      Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa
      Sun päiväs koittaa, oi synnyinmaa!
      Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning,
      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 way,
      and now the day the powers of night is scorning:
      thy daylight dawns, O Finland of ours!
