Kendo Anthem [English translation]

I'm not encouraging you to drink straight from the pitcher

Even though Sampo* still spills salt into the sea

and the heart still sighs for Aunus*

and even the youngest can see

that my friends have been handsomely rewarded

though the goal line has always been a bit bitterly chalked

how can victory feel this good

and why can't it always be like this

Finland Finland Finland Finland Finland

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

by the dearest homeland

we party when we win

put the blue-and-white cross -flags to blow in the wind

that cup shall soon be home

by the dearest homeland

we party when we win

put the blue-and-white cross -flags to blow in the wind

that cup shall soon be home

I'm not the master of Halti*, just been to the top

don't speak Norwegian I've been to the apex

No man left behind here they're not waste

here you'll never have to walk a wet surface alone

there will always be a few shouters from the trenches

with muddy fingers and a touch of gold

with fatherland around my neck

I'll follow the puck

I'll take the golden cup from my neighbor

by the dearest homeland

we party when we win

put the blue-and-white cross -flags to blow in the wind

that cup shall soon be home

by the dearest homeland

we party when we win

put the blue-and-white cross -flags to blow in the wind

that cup shall soon be home

Be it Oulu, Turku or Vantaa

from conrete boxes

(Finland) will carry

to the shopping centers of enemy territory a mantra

because victory belongs to us

we'll take their will to carry on

the earth splits and the heavens rain manna

The veterans have been mentioned and the lion wrist shoots

into the goal and once more the buzzers sound

and the whole country knows these words by heart

by the dearest homeland

we party when we win

put the blue-and-white cross -flags to blow in the wind

that cup shall soon be home

by the dearest homeland

we party when we win

put the blue-and-white cross -flags to blow in the wind

that cup shall soon be home
