by Zachris Topelius (1818 - 1898)
Translation by Antti Tuokko (flourished c1890)

Laps' Suomen
Language: Finnish (Suomi)  after the Swedish (Svenska) 
Laps' Suomen ällös vaihda pois 
sun maatas ihanaa!
Sill' leipä vieraan karvast' ois 
ja sana karkeaa!
Sen taivas, päiv' on loistoton, 
sen sydän sulle outo on.
Laps' Suomen, älä vaihda pois, 
sun maatas ihanaa!

Laps' Suomen, kaunis sull' on maa
ja suuri, loistokas.
Veet välkkyy, maat sen vihoittaa,
sen rant' on maineikas.
Yö kirkas, päivä lämpöinen
ja taivas tuhat tähtinen.
Laps' Suomen, kaunis sull' on maa
ja suuri, loistokas!

Laps' Suomen, armas maasi tää
siis muista ainiaan!
Sull' onnea ja elämää
ei muuall' ollenkaan.
Jos minne tiesi olkohon,
niin juures synnyinmaasa on!
Laps' Suomen, armas maasi tää
siis muista ainiaan!
