| [00:11.99] |
Far away, where the sunshine never fades |
| [00:22.28] |
There lies this land, the greatest of tales |
| [00:35.05] |
(interlude) |
| [00:44.02] |
A strong golden gate now slowly moves aside |
| [00:54.69] |
In walks a man, exhausted by the tide |
| [01:06.74] |
Finally, I've reached my destiny |
| [01:11.40] |
I've crossed the western sea for the land of hope an glory |
| [01:17.87] |
In front of me stands the glorious grand city |
| [01:22.74] |
A feeling that I can breathe, and be free |
| [01:29.25] |
Surrounding golden walls, finest marble covers the halls |
| [01:34.84] |
Silver-plated streets that glimmer and shine |
| [01:37.87] |
Statues, monuments and fountains filled with wine |
| [01:40.57] |
And trees nearly touching the sky |
| [01:53.17] |
In the land of hope and glory |
| [01:57.46] |
(interlude) |
| [02:28.67] |
I head to the greatest hall, |
| [02:31.79] |
take a deep breath and open the door |
| [02:34.55] |
Is this the land of hope and glory? |
| [02:39.86] |
Sitting on a golden throne, |
| [02:43.06] |
an ape holding a scepter of bone |
| [02:45.89] |
It utters: "The die is cast." |
| [02:51.15] |
|
| [03:16.60] |
(interlude) |
| [03:39.10] |
Echoes from the homeland |
| [03:53.10] |
|
| [03:59.07] |
Kotimaan rannat kutsuu poikaa Pohjolan |
| [04:05.48] |
Hoist the sails, it's time to leave these lands behind |
| [04:11.79] |
Rain or hail won't stop me, I have made up my mind |
| [04:18.31] |
Surrounded by dark emptiness |
| [04:21.31] |
The sea is cold and merciless |
| [04:25.06] |
All alone, I'm heading home |
| [04:40.66] |
Over the vast sea, wide and so deep |
| [04:43.83] |
Ahti I greet thee, I'm heading home! |
| [04:46.97] |
The wind is rising, cold and biting |
| [04:50.18] |
Ilmarinen I greet thee |
| [04:53.62] |
Northern shores - I'm home |
| [04:59.56] |
(interlude) |
| [05:19.43] |
No surrounding golden walls, no marble covered halls |
| [05:25.16] |
No silver-plated streets that glimmer and shine |
| [05:28.23] |
No statues, monuments nor fountains filled with wine |
| [05:31.03] |
Only trees touching the sky |
| [05:37.70] |
(interlude) |
| [06:07.95] |
Far away, where sunshine never fades |
