Hello,
I am American with Finnish ancestry. I only speak English. How should I go about to learn how to sing Vilppulan urhojen muistolle ?

Start going through the alphabet? I don't know how this is any different from starting language studies except you presumably just want the pronunciation. There should be lots of videos on YT for this.

Thanks for the reply,
Where can I find the lyrics?
I think I understand the Finnish alphabet. I still have a Finnish alphabet book I had when I was a kid put away with other childhood mementos.

"Lyrics" in Finnish is just "sanat".
I found this through the song's wikipedia page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYniRx6ETxI
Hope that's what you were after! There was also a version with a mostly okay English translation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox6c-8EF858
Wow, that's a very stirring song actually! Well I guess military marches tend to be that way. The next one isn't far behind... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nehkhIOa-0

I like that one. I will have to dust off my history books to figure out which war that was.
30 years war?

Hi!
The song was written at the time of the Finnish Civil War 1918, but it was published after the war.
The song is written on the White side, to honor the White Guard soldiers on the Southern Ostrobothnian front.
