composer/group:Fredrick Pacius
title:Maamme (national anthem of Finland)
category:National anthems
lyrics or other text:Oi maamme Suomi, synnyinmaa!
Soi, sana kultainen.
Ei laaksoa, ei kukkulaa, ei vettä rantaa rakkaampaa
kuin kotimaa tää pohjoinen, maa kallis isien.

(Paavo Cajanderin käännös Runebergin runosta Vårt land)

Also used as the anthem for Estonia, but without the repetition of the last part.

Purists often propose this song be replaced by the Finlandia hymn ( *DUUDDUDURU ) which was composed by a Finn and has lyrics written originally in Finnish (Pacius was German and the text is a translation of original Swedish).
