The national anthem of Finland is called "Maamme" (Our Land in English). It was written in 1848 by Johan Ludvig Runeberg, and the melody was composed by Fredrik Pacius. "Maamme" was adopted as the official national anthem of Finland in 1917 when Finland gained its independence from Russia.

Here are the lyrics of the Finnish national anthem:


Oi maamme, Suomi, synnyinmaa,

soi, sana kultainen!

Ei laaksoa, ei kukkulaa,

ei vettä, rantaa rakkaampaa

kuin kotimaa tää pohjoinen,

maa kallis isien.


Sun kukoistukses kuorestaan

kerrankin puhkeaa;

viel' lempemme saa nousemaan

sun toivos, riemus loistossaan,

ja kerran laulus, synnyinmaa,

korkeemman kaiun saa.


Here is an English translation of the Finnish national anthem:


O our land, Finland, our birthplace,

Ring out, our golden word!

No valley, no hill,

No water, shore more dear

Than this northern homeland,

Precious land of our fathers.


Upon our land's blossoming

Time will set a seal,

The cherished hopes and joys of ours

Will rise aloft in their fullness,

And in our native tongue there'll be

A prouder tone and ring.
