About a story of these lyrics:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakkapeliitta



They came across the sea
Landed in the coast of Pommer
They entered to south Saxony
During the thirty years war

From Breitenfeld to Lützen
From Leipzig to Lens
The Battle after one by one
The were ready to the next

The Finnish light cavalrymen
With the helmets and the swords
The warhorses ready to (the) fight
Across the rivers they forded

In the service of king Gustavus
With their glory and their pride
They raided, attacked savagely
Through the enemy front they rode

No mercy to the enemies
Dust clouds, Finnhorses breath
Fight with courage to the end
From dusk till the dawn of death

Their strength and camaraderie
Their battlefield success
They were well-respected
By their adversaries


"Our fatherland awaits us in the land of the snow
Blazing flames in our beach and storms strongly blows
Our hands fill the air with our strong mighty swords
There faith and the honour of brotherhood strongly glows
They forded across the Neva, snorting horses like war-beasts
And swam over Vistula like hurrying to their feast
Like the avengers they bring their sabres over the Rhine
'til from the Danube they all drank the emperor's wine"

[Poetically partly translated by Vasstago Archipelagus of original Swedish verses from The Finnish cavalry battle march by Zacharius Topelius.]


Attack - scream your warcry
Fight proud with courage - before you die
Attack - scream "Cut 'em down"
Kill 'em all now - burn down their town

With a leather armor and a breastplate of steel
They fired the pistols then draw the sword
Their enemies prayed in fear, they are invincible
"Oh lord deliver us from the army of sorcery"
Horses trampled down their enemies infantry
celebratory men drunk to the VICTORY !!!

I see in the northern sky
Again the magic of the winter night
Like colourful dancing curtains
I will never forget this moment

According to the legend
When foxes made fire
Sparks they whisked
Up into the sky

I'm the child so favoured
Under bright mystic glow
Now she is whispering for me
The goddess of dawn

Aurora is calling me
My name is written into the solar winds
Like flames in the sky burning bright
I'm the child, conceived under the northern lights

According to the legend
When foxes made fire
Sparks they whisked
Up into the sky

I'm the child so favoured
Under bright mystic glow
Now she is whispering for me
The goddess of dawn

The Sky is turning red like bloodshed
On the battlefield of many thousands dead
Listen to the mystic sounds when spirits are whispering
And singing for the god of north wind

According to the legend
When foxes made fire
Sparks they whisked
Up into the sky

I'm the child so favoured
Under bright mystic glow
Now she is whispering for me
The goddess of dawn

It's a long time ago
Do you remember the place
Where we first time met and now again
Our love lit like a flame

You told me I'm your light
In the dark side of your life
And your heart will burn for me in eternity

Even if nightstars would fall or sun would rise no more
My heart and my soul belongs to you
Even if mountains would fall or storms would break the walls
My love and my life belongs to you

I don't want to live
Without your love that I need
I want to soar like a seagull
You are the wind under my wings

Forever we dare to try
Together we learn to fly
Searching peaceful place of world
For better life

Even if nightstars would fall or sun would rise no more
My heart and my soul belongs to you
Even if mountains would fall or storms would break the walls
My love and my life belongs to you

Let me show you my world
Let me sail across the seas
With you to the eternal land
Somewhere there is promised island
And there we will find peace and love
Away form sorrow and despair
And our love will be evergreen
In the paradise you've never seen

My darling can't you see
Oh darling you must believe me
Our love is immortal and it is real...

Even if nightstars would fall or sun would rise no more
My heart and my soul belongs to you
Even if mountains would fall or storms would break the walls
My love and my life belongs to you.

Lyrics © Vasstago Archipelagus

Into the blue, where seaweed grows
There is home of sea-maiden
I sink with your last breath
Until I kiss your lips

I follow your shadow
'til I find my sweet
I cry for you, flow my tears

Where are you my prince, my dear
I'm your mermaid in your dreams

Into the blue, where seahorses swim
There is home of sea-maiden
Dive with me into the unknown
Until I touch your soul

I follow your shadow
'til I fall in love
I sing for you, burying all your fears

Where are you my prince, my dear
I'm your mermaid in your dreams
I'm waiting your under deep blue sea
Come here my darlin' and release me

In the middle of the night
When the moonlight is so bright
From the deepness of black ocean
She will come and sing again...

Where are you my prince, my dear
I'm your mermaid in your dreams
I'm waiting your under deep blue sea
Come here my darlin' and release me
