English translation by Karl Karlov Time of Awakening Here the wide sea waves ceased, something stayed their hand, Shore o 'er sea vict'ry won, from the shoreline - land: Land that's low, golden glow, rock-strewn glades, soil to grow, Cloudy skies, wind that sighs, filled with hope. By and by, sparkling eye, our foreparents meet, Make a home, till the loam, many children greet. There was joy, tears and stress, laughter wide, happiness, There was toil, hardship's press, in this land. Eestimaa*, Eestimaa, homeland of mine you are, Close to my soul you shall ever be. Eestimaa, Eestimaa, homeland of mine you are, You are within my heart so deep. Came with fire, came with sword, came an alien man, Anguish brought; suffering wrought, foreign bread in hand. Fathers fell. Mothers too. Children died, not a few, Pain that sears, anguished tears soaked this land. Eestimaa, Eestimaa, homeland of mine you are, Close to my soul you shall ever be. Eestimaa, Eestimaa, homeland of mine you are, You are within my heart so deep. Mothertongue, songs long sung, I'll guard in this land, It's still theirs, my forebears', forest, field and strand: Land that's low, golden glow, rock-strewn glades, soil to grow, Cloudy skies, wind that sighs, filled with hope. Eestimaa, Eestimaa, homeland of mine you are, Close to my soul you shall ever be. Eestimaa, Eestimaa, homeland of mine you are, You are within my heart so deep. You are within my heart so deep! (*Eestimaa is a combination ofthe Estonian words for,"Estonia" and "land", and is a usual term for the the country of Estonia.)
