"Narvan marssi" - Finnish funeral march [Sanat] + [English Lyrics]

The Swedish poem "Viken, Tidens flyktiga minnen" has also been translated into Finnish. Like with the swedish song it is sometimes known by the first line "Hetken haave haipuos haivu". The tune is supposedly an old irish tune, but it was most famously used by the Swedish/Finnish troops at the battle of Narva in 1700 (hence the name). In Finland it is often played during funerals of war-veterans and head-of-state. The footage is from the procession of Marshal Mannerheim. Performed by Ville Pirnes.
Narvan Marssi eli "Hetken haave haipuos haivu" suomeksi laulettuna Ville Pirnesin ansiosta.
Narvas march eller "Viken, tidens flyktiga minnen" har även översatts till finska.
