  • An old Finnish marching song from the 19th century.
    Footage is from sa-kuva
    Lyrics:
    Finnish:
    1. Eikä me olla veljeksiä,
    Vaikka me ollaan kahden,
    Jalajallai jalajala vei vei vei,
    Ja vaikka me ollaan kahden.
    2. Tavallisen reiluja mamman poikia
    Toiselta puolen lahden,
    Jalajallai jalajala vei vei vei,
    Ja toiselta puolen lahden
    3. Pääskyt kun lenteli etelän maille,
    Niin silloin me tultiin tänne,
    jalajallai jalajala vei vei vei,
    Ja silloin me tultiin tänne.
    4. Heilamme toisille luvattiinja
    Suomelle elämämme,
    jalajallai jalajala vei vei vei,
    ja Suomelle elämämme
    5. Pianhan se loppuu se rekryyttiaika
    Ja eihän se kauan kestä,
    jalajallai jalajala vei vei vei,
    ja eihän se kauan kestä.
    6. Silloin me siirrymme siviiliin
    Ja kiitämme viimeisestä,
    jalajallai jalajala vei vei vei,
    kiitämme viimeisestä.
    English:
    1. We are not brothers,
    Even though we are together
    Jalajallai jalajala vei vei vei
    Even though we are together
    2. Plain honest momma’s boys
    From the other side of the bay
    jalajallai jalajala vei vei vei
    From the other side of the bay
    3. When the swallows flew to the south
    Thats when we came here
    jalajallai jalajala vei vei vei
    Thats when we came here
    4. We pledged our sweethearts to others
    And our life to Finland
    jalajallai jalajala vei vei vei
    And our life to Finland
    5. Soon our recruit time is over
    And it won’t last long
    jalajallai jalajala vei vei vei
    And it won’t last long
    6. That's when we move to civilian life
    And thank for the last one.
    jalajallai jalajala vei vei vei
    And thank for the last one.

      If that question is about the hooked cross on the plane - there is something the world does not really seem to understand. If it lay on the side, not standing on the corner - it is the symbol of Finnish air forces BEFORE Nazi ever took to using that thing in their flag. Not our fault either that they did. And if you are interested how the life was for Jews in Finland during WWII era - then I have a link - but it will contain the full history actually, because it is relevant. Jews just like anyone else, a foreigner, was able to get citizen ship in Finland only after we were fully able to make our own laws. Not using just old Swedish laws, or having to tolerate Russian Tsar's veto rights on potential new laws - meaning after we became independent. And there has never been a time in our history when the government or state itself was officially making laws or willing acts against Jews in Finland. They fought along with all the rest of Finns at the front, never mind what the Germans thought about it during Continuation War. The link below focuses on Finnish Jews and speaks a bit about refugees. In addition the records would also show that Russian war prisoners who were of Jewish origin were generally moved to countryside for working camp, so that they weren't in the eyes of any potential Germans in the country. But that does not mean they did not have hard time, the prisoners that is, other Russians and those of Jewish origin. Fact is that there was illness a lot among the prisoners, often due hunger - but that hunger existed because the whole country was suffering from it. Best food would have been going for the soldiers fighting. Apart from antics of few random individuals, there was no destruction of Jews in our country, and that should be considered notable given that we had no other option, but to ally with Germany. We were out of amo and with poor equipment, the state leaders thought the Soviets will attack again anyhow - and the nation really needed food supplies, even if that was limited still. Well that is my five scents to this. I'll leave the link... kindly listen it all, including the questions made at the end if you are interested. The speech is given by researcher and author who himself is of Jewish origin.

      Yeah, the Finnish air forces was using the hakaristi symbol already before the German Nazi party had been founded. It would still be on the aircrafts if the Nazis didn't ruin the symbol's reputation in the West. It's pretty ironic that it used to be a good luck/protection symbol for thousands of years, but after the Nazis it became a distasteful symbol of terror and racism.

      Since it is an 19th century marching song, it would refer to not only Estonia but just Russia as a whole when Finnish units served in the Imperial Russian Army and were sent "to the other side of the bay" like into Poland in 1831 or into the Balkans in 1877. This is where the "We are not brothers, even though we are together." comes in, referring to Russians.
