Song by Georg de Godzinsky
Lyrics by Kerttu Mustonen
Sung by Georg Malmsten

Strike the waves of the vast Onego Lake,
they swing thus telling:
a new morning dawn will rise
over the lands of White Sea Karelia and Olonets Karelia.
They heard the beautiful playing
that was brought by the frenzy of the battle.
Now a stable legion
its shores again guard.

Quietly lulled the Onego Lake its waves,
tire at the shore
in an archipelago of fairy tales.
You far away, my love,
I here reminisce about
once I shall fetch
to the boat of our happiness.

Strike the waves of the vast Onego Lake,
they swing thus telling:
tribesmen brought to the land of Karelia
now already a new kantele.
They stepped from victory to victory
and bet like a violent wind,
till the intact and
wonderful land was left here.
