[00:11.99]Far away, where the sunshine never fades
[00:22.28]There lies this land, the greatest of tales
[00:35.05](interlude)
[00:44.02]A strong golden gate now slowly moves aside
[00:54.69]In walks a man, exhausted by the tide
[01:06.74]Finally, I've reached my destiny
[01:11.40]I've crossed the western sea for the land of hope an glory
[01:17.87]In front of me stands the glorious grand city
[01:22.74]A feeling that I can breathe, and be free
[01:29.25]Surrounding golden walls, finest marble covers the halls
[01:34.84]Silver-plated streets that glimmer and shine
[01:37.87]Statues, monuments and fountains filled with wine
[01:40.57]And trees nearly touching the sky
[01:53.17]In the land of hope and glory
[01:57.46](interlude)
[02:28.67]I head to the greatest hall,
[02:31.79]take a deep breath and open the door
[02:34.55]Is this the land of hope and glory?
[02:39.86]Sitting on a golden throne,
[02:43.06]an ape holding a scepter of bone
[02:45.89]It utters: "The die is cast."
[02:51.15]
[03:16.60](interlude)
[03:39.10]Echoes from the homeland
[03:53.10]
[03:59.07]Kotimaan rannat kutsuu poikaa Pohjolan
[04:05.48]Hoist the sails, it's time to leave these lands behind
[04:11.79]Rain or hail won't stop me, I have made up my mind
[04:18.31]Surrounded by dark emptiness
[04:21.31]The sea is cold and merciless
[04:25.06]All alone, I'm heading home
[04:40.66]Over the vast sea, wide and so deep
[04:43.83]Ahti I greet thee, I'm heading home!
[04:46.97]The wind is rising, cold and biting
[04:50.18]Ilmarinen I greet thee
[04:53.62]Northern shores - I'm home
[04:59.56](interlude)
[05:19.43]No surrounding golden walls, no marble covered halls
[05:25.16]No silver-plated streets that glimmer and shine
[05:28.23]No statues, monuments nor fountains filled with wine
[05:31.03]Only trees touching the sky
[05:37.70](interlude)
[06:07.95]Far away, where sunshine never fades
