|
Came The Eagle
|
|
Came the eagle of the air,
|
a hawk from above the wind.
|
Gliding bird, charging beast,
|
from the depths of the blue sky
|
|
Wings they were wide and strong,
|
feathers they were furious.
|
Beak it was long and sharp,
|
eyes they were flashing.
|
|
Beautiful as an eagle's curve,
|
Bold as a hawk's dive,
|
So is noble my own mind,
|
So is free my own spirit.
|
|
The first wing touched the ground,
|
the second wing scratched the sky.
|
The beak was touching the treetops,
|
the eyes saw to the end of stars.
|
|
Flew over three rapids,
|
three rapids, four rivers.
|
To forest land so beautiful,
|
to the sweet land of Finns.
|
|
Beautiful as an eagle's curve...
