I dreamed of Finland last night

I had a dream... of a place full of magic and wonders. Where the people talk a mysterious language. And are so faithfull they don't even thing of breaking the law and walk through the red traffic light. The land of moomins and angry birds. A new adventure awaits behind every tree in every forest. Every winter the place becomes a winter wonderland and every summer you find there the ultimate summer feeling. People overthere have blue, green, red, white, black, brown, blond or no hair. The best thing is that this place excist and it is called Finland.

I went to school this week, but it was not the same. They all spoke Dutch and it was in Zwolle, not in Turku or Helsinki.
I had to work this week, but it was not the same. It was harsher, more direct an not in Turku or Kokkola.
Even the radio wasn't the same, they were whining about sex, drugs and weird stuff and it was full of Dutch dj's, commercials and English music. But no Finnish at all, not even a word.
Even the sauna I have to miss, it is way to expensive and I can't go whenever I want.

I guess it is true what they say. Finland is where dreams come true. You can get someone out of Finland, but you never ever can get Finland out of a person.

And now al together:

Oi maamme, Suomi, synnyinmaa!
Soi sana kultainen!
Ei laaksoa, ei kukkulaa,
ei vettä rantaa rakkaampaa
kuin kotimaa tää pohjoinen,
maa kallis isien.
Ei laaksoa, ei kukkulaa,
ei vettä rantaa rakkaampaa
kuin kotimaa tää pohjoinen,
maa kallis isien.

Sun kukoistukses kuorestaan
kerrankin puhkeaa;
viel' lempemme saa nousemaan
sun toivos, riemus loistossaan,
ja kerran laulus, synnyinmaa
korkeemman kaiun saa.
