Siniristilippumme, sulle käsin vannomme, sydämin: sinun puolestas elää ja kuolla on halumme korkehin.
Siniristilippumme, sulle valan vannomme kallihin: sinun puolestas elää ja kuolla on halumme korkehin.
Our blue cross flag, we swear to you with our hands, with our hearts: To live and die for you is our greatest wish.
Our blue cross flag, to you we swear dearly: To live and die for you Is our greatest wish.
