Far away, where the sunshine never fades 
There lies this land, the greatest of tales 

strong golden gate now slowly moves aside 
In walks a man, exhausted by the tide 

Finally, 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 
feeling that I can breathe, and be free 

Surrounding 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 sky 

In the land of hope and glory 

I 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 homeland 

Kaikuen laulu raikaa takaa ulapan 
Kotimaan rannat kutsuu poikaa Pohjolan 

Hoist the sails, it"s time to leave these lands behind 
Rain or hail won"t stop me, I have made up my mind 

Surrounded by dark emptiness 
The sea is cold and mercil 
1321 
ess 
All alone, I"m heading home 

Over 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 home 

No 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 sky 

Far away, where sunshine never fades 
There lies this land, the greatest of tales
