"Ålänningens sång" (lit.'Song of the Ålander') is the official regional anthem of Åland, an autonomous Swedish-speaking province of Finland. Adopted in 1922, the anthem's lyrics were written by John Grandell, and the music was composed by Johan Fridolf Hagfors. The song was first performed during the song festival in Mariehamn 1922. In Åland, the song is mostly sung on Midsummer's Eve and on Åland's Autonomy Day on 9 June. The song originally had four verses, but the third verse has been omitted for a long time when the song is sung and often when it appears in print.
