Here's the lyrics in Swedish:
Nu får det bli allvar
Hunnerna ska bort
Bad om starka killar
Vad är ni för sort?
Är det sämsta gäng jag nån'sin sett
Blir inte lätt, men fattar du
Att jag ska göra män av er nu
Lika lugn som skogen
Lika stor som den
Samla kraft inom er
Gå mot vinst igen
Men jag ser ni är
Ett hopplöst gäng
Fattar ingenting ännu
Men det ska nog bli män av er nu
Jag klarar inte av det här
Det är rena rama natta´
Borde nog ha gått på gymmet då och då
Han skrämmer ihjäl de där
Hoppas att han inte fattar
Borde nog ha lärt mig simma eller så
Bli en man!
Vänd aldrig om när ni ser ett hinder
Bli en man!
Ni äger styrkan och kraft att tro
Bli en man!
Eld, luft och vatten har samma styrka
Tillsammans så kan ni bygga er en bro
Tiden rinner från oss
Snart så blir det strid
Lyd min minsta order
Får ni ro och frid
Kämpa för vår jord
Är mitt sista ord
Annars återvänder du
Hur kan jag göra män av er nu?
Bli en man!
Vänd aldrig om när ni ser ett hinder
Bli en man!
Ni äger styrkan och kraft att tro
Bli en man!
Eld, luft och vatten har samma styrka
Tillsammans så kan ni bygga er en bro
Vänd aldrig om när ni ser ett hinder
Bli en man!
Ni äger styrkan och kraft att tro
Bli en man!
Eld, luft och vatten har samma styrka
Tillsammans så kan ni bygga er en bro

In winter, the mean temperature remains below 0°C, but warm airflows can raise the daily high above 0°C at times. Winter usually begins in mid-October in Lapland and during November in the rest of Finland, though not until December in the southwestern archipelago. It thus takes about two months for winter to proceed from Lapland to Åland. The sea and lakes retard the progress of winter. Winter is the longest season, lasting for about 100 days in southwestern Finland and 200 days in Lapland.
North of the Arctic Circle, part of the winter is the period known as the polar night, when the sun does not rise above the horizon at all. In the northernmost extremity of Finland, the polar night lasts for 51 days. In southern Finland, the shortest day is about 6 hours long.
Permanent snow falls on open ground about two weeks after winter begins. The snow cover is deepest around mid-March, with an average of60 to 90 cm of snow in eastern and northern Finland and 20 to 30 cm in southwestern Finland. The lakes freeze over in late November and early December. The ice is thickest in early April, at about 50 to 65 cm. In severe winters, the Baltic Sea may ice over nearly completely, but in mild winters it remains open except for the far ends of the Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Finland.
The coldest day of winter comes well after perihelion, at the end of January everywhere except in the islands and coastal regions, where the slower cooling of the sea delays the coldest period until the beginning of February. The lowest temperatures in winter are from -45°C to -50°C in Lapland and eastern Finland; from -35°C to -45°C elsewhere; and -25°C to -35°C in the islands and coastal regions. The lowest temperature recorded in Helsinki is -34.3°C (1987). The lowest temperature recorded at any weather station in Finland this century is -51.5°C (1999).
