Punaorvon Vala - Song About the Finnish White Terror

On January 27th 1918, 100 years ago, the Finnish workers (Red Guards) rebelled and the Finnish Civil War started. The revolution was crushed by the White Guards, and thousands of former Red Guards were executed (Some even without proper trials) and some died in prison camps. Most of the leaders fled to Soviet Russia and founded the Communist Party of Finland. This song is dedicated to the Red Guard orphans whose parents were killed by the mass executions. Lyrics: On luonto jylhä, rajumyrskyt pauhaa ja niin synkkä on toiveitteni maa. Nyt ryöstettynä ompi multa kaikki, tätä kurjuutta kärsiä mä saan.
