This earthly home of mine
Oh, if only the world knew
What can be found beneath the sky
Here's a people whose tears could fill many oceans
There are many lonely people here, but
So much forbidden love
That paintings and yearning love songs can't tell its tale
Life here is hard work
Fortune is rarely on your side
Only a Finn knows that, all alone
This earthly home of mine
This land has a stubborn people
If friends care for each other
Then only death or the authorities can tear them apart
We go uphill, our souls in sorrow
But we climb it gritting our teeth
We go around bend after bend only to see
That it wasn't worth it after all
Life here is hard work
Fortune is rarely on your side
This earthly home of mine
This earthly home of mine
