- www.jtmp.org - Joan Baez sings "Finlandia", a song originally composed by Jean Sibelius. This is the later version he wrote into a stand-alone piece, that is a "national song" of Finland, not the national anthem. The Finnish poet Veikko Antero Koskenniemi wrote words to it. JTMP recommends exploring the various translations. Here is one translation:
O, Finland, behold, your day is dawning,
The threat of night has been banished away,
And the lark of morning in the brightness sings,
As though the very firmament would sing.
The powers of the night are vanquished by the morning light,
Your day is dawning, O land of birth.
O, rise, Finland, raise up high
Your head, wreathed with great memories.
O, rise, Finland, you showed to the world
That you drove away the slavery,
And that you did not bend under oppression,
Your day is dawning, O land of birth.
