Motherland Karelia!
Ancient and wise land.
One family of the brother nations,
Karelia!

Ring, lakes, and sing, taiga!
Native land, you are dear to me.
High on your hills I stand
And the song to your glory I sing.

Motherland Karelia!
You are destined to me forever.
Live long through centuries, my land,
Karelia!

The heroes of the epic poems

Still live among our mountains and woods

Sing on, the song! Kantele, sing louder
In the name of the sacred Karelian land!

Motherland Karelia!
Lively chants of runes and poems.
I see your radiant dawn,
Karelia!
I see your gleaming dawn,
Karelia!
