Sjävständighet / Independence
93 år av frihet. Finland förklarade sig självständigt den 6 december 1917...Alla har vi minnen av krig och elände berättade för oss av dem som var med...
93 years of freedom. Finland declared it's independency on the 6'th of december 1917....We have all memories of the war and suffering told to us by those who were there...
Berätta för dina barn och barnbarn med sånger hur dyrt vårt fosterland är...snart stupar den siste av bröder...minnet får aldrig blekna bort...
I eftermiddag sjunger min far, och den kör han är med i ,denna sång till minne av den siste krigsveteranen i Borlänge som avled för ett par månader sedan.
Tell your children and your grandchildren with songs how precious our fatherland is...soon the last of the brothers has fallen ....the memory must never fade away....
My father and his choir will sing this song this afternoon to the memory of the last war veteran in Borlänge who died a couple of months ago.
Tack från mitt hjärta till mina mor och farföräldrar!
Thank you from my heart to all my grandparents!
Ha en trevlig helg och självständinghetsdag den 6:e! Vi ses!
Have a lovely weekend and Independence day the 6'th! I'll see you later!
