1917, “Jääkärimarssi”, Heikki Nurmio (lyrics), Jean Sibelius (music):Syvä iskumme on, viha voittamaton,
meill’ armoa ei kotimaata.
Koko onnemme kalpamme kärjessä on,
ei rintamme heltyä saata.- Our blow is deep, our wrath invincible,
we have no mercy, no homeland
Our fortune lies at the tips of our swords,
our hearts shall not relent.
