Compared to those by V. A. Koskenniemi from 1940, these original Finnish lyrics of Finlandia, written for and still used by the Freemasons, are practically unknown to the general public in our country.

Audio link to the song performed by Martti Koskimo on his 1967 single Malaika / Oot vierelläin (You're By My Side):

Here's another song about killer drones with a lot of background information. It's one of the five finalists of the 2018 German Peace Song Contest. I have posted all of them (Frieden für die Kinder dieser Welt, Zwei Wölfe, Circulus terroris, Back in the Days and All in All), but so far, none of them has been translated into Italian, which I wonder. So how about it, guys? After all, it's the only peace song contest arranged on a regular basis I know of and, therefore, an important source of brand new content for this page.

From the album Susijengi (2006). Kapasiteettiyksikkö (Finnish for "capacity unit") was a Finnish hip hop group from Helsinki. The group was formed in 1997 by Anders "Andu" Westerholm, Markku "Tasis" Wettenranta and Dan "Uniikki" Tolppanen. Along with Fintelligens, Kapasiteettiyksikkö was one of the first Finnish-language hip hop groups that gained popularity in the country.

Thank you so much to Riccardo Gullotta for posting this beautiful song. I have always loved Brucia la terra sung in Sicilian, a language of which I don't understand a word. I'm very much looking forward to a translation of the Sicilian lyrics, because I have always imagined that they are something quite different from the sugar-coated ones of Speak Softly, Love or those of the Finnish version below.
