Lyrics:

Long have we suffered Russkie rule
While defending the freedom of the Finnish people
Rise Ostrobothnian boys!
Heroes of dear Karelia!
Tavastians and men of Savonia to the front!
Rise Ostrobothnian boys!
Heroes of dear Karelia!
Tavastians and men of Savonia to the front!

We are leaving our homes to march to war
The blood of Jägers compels us
Rise White brothers!
Down Red Russians!
No mercy will be given to the enemy!
Rise White brothers!
Down Red Russians!
No mercy will be given to the enemy!

Many heavy battles have been won already
In our White Finnland
Oulu is ours!
Vaasa is tight in our grip!
Towards Viipuri we are now rolling!
Oulu is ours!
Vaasa is tight in our grip!
Towards Viipuri we are now rolling!

Many bloody battlefields are behind us
Who will remember them all?
Vaskivesi, Varkaus!
The leap of Mäntyharju!
Unbreakable fortress of Karelia!
Vaskivesi, Varkaus!
The leap of Mäntyharju!
Unbreakable fortress of Karelia!

On our ridges of Hannila bombs are banging!
In Rautu shrapnel is splashing!
Ahvola is most tough!
Suninmäki most heroic!
The Reds of Pullila will be punished!
Ahvola is most tough!
Suninmäki most heroic!
The Reds of Pullila will be punished!

Thousands upon thousands of Russians may come!
The Karelian army will take care of them.
The Time has come!
Purge the Red Guards!
Repel the Russian blood hound!
The Time has come!
Purge the Red Guards!
Repel the Russian blood hound!

A high death – the heroes reward!
We will salute these heroes at their graves
Our bodies may get a mere wound!
Bullets might whizz past us!
But our souls will remain as a heritage of the native land.
Our bodies may get a mere wound!
Bullets might whizz past us!
But our souls will remain as a heritage of the native land.

Over Viapori fortress waves the Lion Flag,
Goddamn, boys, we raised it!
We demonstrate Finnlands power!
We employ hard means!
The blood of Jägers compels us!
We demonstrate Finnlands power!
We employ hard means!
The blood of Jägers compels us!
