Far away, where the sunshine never fades There lies this land, the greatest of tales (interlude) A strong golden gate now slowly moves aside In walks a man, exhausted by the tide Finally, I've reached my destiny I've crossed the western sea for the land of hope an glory In front of me stands the glorious grand city A feeling that I can breathe, and be free Surrounding golden walls, finest marble covers the halls Silver-plated streets that glimmer and shine Statues, monuments and fountains filled with wine And trees nearly touching the sky In the land of hope and glory (interlude) I head to the greatest hall, take a deep breath and open the door Is this the land of hope and glory? Sitting on a golden throne, an ape holding a scepter of bone It utters: "The die is cast."
(interlude) Echoes from the homeland
Kotimaan rannat kutsuu poikaa Pohjolan Hoist the sails, it's time to leave these lands behind Rain or hail won't stop me, I have made up my mind Surrounded by dark emptiness The sea is cold and merciless All alone, I'm heading home Over the vast sea, wide and so deep Ahti I greet thee, I'm heading home! The wind is rising, cold and biting Ilmarinen I greet thee Northern shores - I'm home (interlude) No surrounding golden walls, no marble covered halls No silver-plated streets that glimmer and shine No statues, monuments nor fountains filled with wine Only trees touching the sky (interlude) Far away, where sunshine never fades
