Вы жертвою пали
Sung to a tune different from the original music, this Finnish version of the song by an unknown author was first published in 1923 in Köyhälistön laulukirja (Proletarian Songbook).

Workers of the World, Awaken
This Finnish-American Wobbly version of the song by an unknown author was first published in 1918 in Proletaari Lauluja (Proletarian Songs, Workers Socialist Publishing Company, Duluth, Minnesota). According to Ilpo Saunio & Timo Tuovinen’s book Edestä aattehen - suomalaisia työväenlauluja 1890 - 1938 (For the Cause - Finnish Working Class Songs 1890 - 1938, Tammi Publishing Company, Helsinki 1978), its lyricist is unknown suggesting that the Finnish music archive records crediting the almost identical lyrics of the above version (Proletaarit nouskaa) from 1928 to Hannes Saari may not be correct.

This Finnish-American translation by an unknown author was first published in 1918 in Proletaari Lauluja (Proletarian Songs, Workers Socialist Publishing Company, Duluth, Minnesota). Interestingly, the title Puupää (blockhead) refers rather to Joe Hill's Mr. Block ) than this song.

Itkuvirsi sodissa kaatuneille

Anonymous
Itkuvirsi sodissa kaatuneille
[ab. 1914?]
Recorded by Kimmo Pohjonen and Heikki Laitinen
Album / Albumi: Murhaballadeja [2012]


"Itkuvirsi sodissa kaatuneille is a fine tale of the pioneer of Finnish folk music research, Armas Otto Väisänen. The vocal samples used so well in the performance are from Väisänen’s lament recordings made in Mordova, Russia in 1914. Pohjonen plays the accordion impressively throughout."

Finnish Music Quarterly



This song is called “Lament for Those Fallen in Wars”; it has been recorded by Kimmo Pohjonen and Heikki Laitinen in their (wonderful) 2012 album Murhaballadeja (“Murder Ballads”). I have tried to translate the lyrics, but this task has proved far beyond my current possibilities. I can only grasp the general meaning of the song lyrics, but no full translation is possible to me. I kindly ask Juha Rämö to translate it in no hurry, and thank him in advance. [RV]

Paroles finnoises de Wäinö Sola, 1937
Sanat: Wäinö Sola, 1937

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.

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.

»Ruotsin tehdaspaikkakuntia alettiin 70-luvulla panna teuraaksi piittaamatta siitä, mitä tapahtuu työläisille ja heidän perheilleen. Vain se, joka on asunut tällaisella paikkakunnalla, voi ymmärtää, millainen tragedia on, kun ainoa tehdas panee lapun luukulle.«
