This one is really turning me on right now, and it has nowt to do with the sexy, rugby players:



I think it's very pretty.

I'm on the steam powered lappy, and while I was waiting for the vid to load I obviously thought this is what was coming up!
I'll raise your Hayley with one Katherine

I'm quite patriotic person, but that's not about the system, it's about what this song tells about, I really like it, the song itself is bit like Finland and Finnish people, few words which mean a lot, no other instruments than just vocals. Simple, yet beautiful.



In Finnish:

Oi maamme, Suomi, synnyinmaa,
soi, sana kultainen!
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.

In English:

Oh our land, Finland, land of our birth,
rings out the golden word!
No valley, no hill,
no water, shore more dear
than this northern homeland,
precious land of our fathers.

Your splendour from its shell
one day will bloom;
From our love shall rise
your hope, glorious joy,
and once your song, fatherland
higher still will echo.

Here's another one I really like. ALthough, I don't think this is a official anthem?
