Lyrics
Oh sina hani halli lindu
oh minu venda vesilindu
hakka halli ilma pääle
hakka päevaks pääle ilma
Tule maa, tule elle-ee
tule tuhast, tule elle-ee
tõuse veest, tõuse kõrgele
kasva kindlaks, kasva elle-ee
Anna elu, anna rauale
anna elu, anna kivile
kanna rammu, kanna hõimule
kanna maale kuhu sünnime
Anna elu, anna üsasse
anna elu, anna idule
kanna rammu, kanna künnile
anna sammu kuhu läheme
Anna elul, anna elu mõõt
säsi sisul, mis on lõõmav tee
võta mullaks kuhu vaibume
kirgvel kõnnul toonelateel
English Translation (Birds from water)
Oh you goose, gray bird
Oh my brother waterfowl
Fly across the gloomy sky
Sow sunlight from above
Come, earth, come
Come from ashes, come
Rise from waters, rise high
Grow strong, grow
Give life, give to iron
Give life, give to stone
Carry strength, carry it for our kin
Carry it to the land where we are born
Give life, give into wombs
Give life, give to seedlings
Carry strength, carry it for ploughing
Direct our steps to where we are going
Give life, give the measure of life
Life’s pith a flaming road
Take the dirt where we fade away
Head high on the road to the other side
Lyrics translation
Oh you goose the grey bird
oh my brother water bird
get out of the gray weather
start the day without
Come on Earth, come on elle-ee
come from the Ashes, come from elle-ee
rise from the water, rise high
grow firm, grow elle-ee
Give life, give Iron
give life, give Stone
carry the Ram, carry the tribe
transfer to the land where we are born
Give life, give womb
give life, give germ
carry the Ram, carry the plough
give me a step where we're going.
Give life, give life measure
what a blazing road
take the soil where we die
a passionate walk on Toon road
