Soviet Union claimed control over several Finnish

Men of the marshlands
March side by side
Cold as the snow
Eager as a bride

Veterans of fighting
Boys soon to be
Determined to stand
And die to be free

Be brave and be steady
There's blood to be shed
There's no giving up
Till the day you are dead

[Chorus]

Sotarintamaa!!
Hakka pääle suomen poikka!

Bent by the hammer
One with the dirt
Focussed and deadly
Can't feel the hurt

Striking at midnight
Nocturnal kill
Fighting in snow
Charging a hill

Be blind in your hatred
Be firm in your deed
Give to the russians
The steel that they need

[Chorus]

The cry in the wind and the writing on the wall
Both tell of the heroes now gathered in the hall
The hall of the elders arena of the best
Where warriors and hunters may finally come to rest
