 It is also considered to be the ethnic anthem for the Livonians as "Min izāmō" ("My Fatherland").The original poem, written in 1846 but not printed until 1848, had 11 stanzas and formed the prologue to the verse cycle "The Tales of Ensign Stål" ("Fänrik Ståhls Sägner"), a classic example of Romantic nationalism.The current Finnish language text is usually attributed to the 1889 translation of "Ensign Stål" by Paavo Cajander, but in fact originates from the 1867 translation by Julius Krohn.
