VOCES8: This Is My Song (Finlandia) - Jean Sibelius arr. Blake Morgan
[VOCES8 performs 'This Is My Song' to the tune of Finlandia by
Jean Sibelius, arranged here by VOCES8 tenor, Blake Morgan.]
This is my song, O God of all the nations,
A song of peace for lands afar and mine
This is my home, the country where my heart is,
Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine.
But other hearts in other lands are beating,
With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.
My country’s skies are bluer than the ocean,
And sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine.
But other lands have sunlight too, and clover,
And skies are everywhere as blue as mine.
*This is my song, O God of all the nations,
A song of peace for their land and for mine.
So let us raise this melody together,
Beneath the stars that guide us through the night;
If we choose love, each storm we’ll learn to weather,
Until true peace and harmony we find.
This is our song, a hymn we raise together;
A dream of peace, uniting humankind.
This is my song,
This is my song,
my song ...

아, 핀란드여, 보라. 이제 밤의 위협은 저 멀리 물러났다.
찬란한 아침에, 종달새는 다시 영광의 노래를 부르고,
천국의 대기가 충만하였다
어둠의 힘은 사라지고 아침햇살은 지금 승리하였으니,
너의 날이 다가왔다, 오 조국이여.
아, 일어나라, 핀란드여. 높이 들어올려라.
너의 과거는 자랑스럽게 등극하였다.
아, 일어나라, 핀란드여, 노예의 흔적을 몰아내고, 새로운 세상을 보여주어라.
억압에 굴복하지 않았으니,
자랑스러운 아침이 시작되리라, 조국이여.
Jean Sibelius
