The Land of Hope and Glory

Far away, where the sunshine never fades

There lies this land, the greatest of talesA strong golden gate now slowly moves aside

In walks a man, exhausted by the tideFinally, I've reached my destiny

I've crossed the western sea for the land of hope an glory

In front of me stands the glorious grand city

A feeling that I can breathe, and be freeSurrounding golden walls, finest marble covers the halls

Silver-plated streets that glimmer and shine

Statues, monuments and fountains filled with wine

And trees nearly touching the skyIn the land of hope and gloryI head to the greatest hall,

take a deep breath and open the door

Is this the land of hope and glory?

Sitting on a golden throne,

an ape holding a scepter of bone

It utters: "The die is cast."Surrounding golden walls...Reminiscence

Echoes from the homelandKaikuen laulu raikaa takaa ulapan

Kotimaan rannat kutsuu poikaa PohjolanHoist the sails, it's time to leave these lands behind

Rain or hail won't stop me, I have made up my mindSurrounded by dark emptiness

The sea is cold and merciless

All alone, I'm heading homeOver the vast sea, wide and so deep

Ahti I greet thee, I'm heading home!

The wind is rising, cold and biting

Ilmarinen I greet thee

Northern shores - I'm homeNo surrounding golden walls, no marble covered halls

No silver-plated streets that glimmer and shine

No statues, monuments nor fountains filled with wine

Only trees touching the skyFar away, where sunshine never fades

There lies this land, the greatest of tales
