Background

edit

In 1945, the Karelo-Finnish SSR's government held a competition to create a state anthem. The winning entry (written by Armas Äikiä and composed by Karl Rautio) was adopted as the SSR's official anthem in the early 1950s until 1956 when it was re-absorbed into the Russian SFSR. Along with the Georgian and Estonian SSR anthems, it was one of the only three Soviet republic anthems that did not mention the Russian people.[5]

Lyrics

Finnish original[3][4][5] Karelian version[6] English translation

I
Oma Karjalais-suomalaiskansamme maa,
Vapaa Pohjolan Neuvostojen tasavalta.
Kotimetsäimme kauneus öin kajastaa
Revontultemme taivaalta leimuavalta.

Kerto:
Neuvostoliitto on voittamaton,
Se kansamme suur-isänmaa ijät on.
Sen Tienä on Kansojen Kunniantie,
Se Karjalan Kansankin voittoihin vie.

II
Isänmaa Kalevan, kotimaa runojen,
Jota Leninin Stalinin lippu johtaa.
Yli kansamme uutteran onnellisen
Valo kansojen veljeystähdestä hohtaa.

Kerto

III
Kotimaamme loi uudeksi kansamme työ,
Tätä maata me puollamme kuin isät ammoin.
Sotasuksemme suihkavat kalpamme lyö.
Asemahdilla suojaamme Neuvosto-Sammon.

Kerto

I
Oma karjalas-suomelasrahvahan mua,
Välly Pohjolan Nevvostoloin tazavaldu.
Kodimeččien čomevus[a] yöl kajostuakseh
selgielöin rebointuliloin taivahalpäi

Kertou:
Nevvostoliitto on voittamatoi
Se rahvahien suur-ižänmua ijät on.
Sen tienny on rahvahien kunnivotie
Se Karjalan rahvahangi voittoloih vie.

II
Ižänmua Kalevalan, kodimua runoloin,
Midä Leninin Stalinin flagu johtau.
Piäliči rahvahan ruadain ozakkahan
Valgo rahvahien vellestiähtespäi čilkettäy

Kertou

III
Kodimuan luaji uvvekse rahvahan ruado,
Tädä muadu myö puolistammo gu tuatat ammui.
Sodasukset sukatah miekat iškietäh.
Azeväel suojuammo Nevvosto-Sammon.

Kertou

I
Native land of the Karelo-Finnish folks,
The free Northern Republic of the Soviets.
At night the beauty of our forests shines,
And the auroras illuminate our skies.

Chorus:
Invincible is the Soviet Union,
Karelia's forever a part of it.
Our glee's to follow the great fatherland
To glorious victories.

II
Kaleva's fatherland, the runes' native land,
Now led by the banner of Lenin and Stalin.
The light of the fraternal folks' star shines
Over our industrious and merry people.

Chorus

III
The labour of our folks revived our homeland,
We'll defend this land just like our fathers did.
Our skies rustle, and our swords attack.
With our arms' strength, we’ll save the Soviet Sampo.

Chorus
