Soon promoted when deserved 
And the legend has begun! 
Started out as a reserve,
Soon promoted when deserved
And the legend has begun!
With a bounty on his head,
The Red Army wants him dead
Soviet enemy number one!

Cross of Mannerheim
Addicted to the war game
Never-ending flame
Victory reclaimed

Oh we remember, we remember,
We remember!

Shout Lauri Törni's name!
Soldier of Three Armies knows the game,
Keeps their echo from the past!
Rise from beyond your grave,
Son of Finland and a Green Beret!
May you rest in peace at last!
Lauri Allan Törni!

Crossed the water, a new start,
War still beating in his heart
new legend has been born!
Started out as a reserve,
Soon promoted when deserved
Changed his name to Larry Thorne!

Shout Lauri Törni's name!

From the Finnish lakes,
Into Germany and USA
All the awards he came across
Cross of Mannerheim,
An Iron Cross, a Bronze Star, Purple Heart,
One Distinguished Flying Cross

Keeps their echo from the past!
