Eesti muld ja Eesti süda (Estonian Soil & Estonian Heart) - English subtitle

Music by Rein Rannap (1953-)
Lyric by Lydia Koidula (1843-86)
Performed by Ott Lepland & Rein Rannap
Lyric:
Heart, how quick and hot you start to beat
when I speak your name, holy Estonia, land of my fathers
I have seen both good and evil, had my share of loss
Some in my life will be left behind, but I won't ever forget you
I have breathed upon your bosom when I could barely take a step
I have drunk of your air, when I shouted out from joy
You have seen my tears, you have heard my troubles
Estonia - my work, my songs, I came to tell you about them
Oh I can never explain in words how you fill my heart
In your arms I long to rest one day for my final sleep
Like a mother you will cover the beating chest of a child
Estonian soil and an Estonian heart - who has the strength to break them apart?

This is the Kind of patriotism the West needs!

The words look weird in English, they kind of do not make sense. It is a rock song, actually from our iconic rock band. Its main singer unfortunately drowned with Estonia, the ship in 1994. May be you heard of it, the biggest ship tragedy of peaceful times during the last century.
Anyway, this rock band, managed to create and perform those patriotic songs during soviet occupation because the managed to create the lyrics so vague that they only made sense for us. The soviet idiots and censorship slaves they just sounded as a love song. This is why they were able to exist and create music. The lyrics in English do not make much sense. This is poetry and poetry, if it can ever at all be translated, needs to be translated by a poet, not Google translate

Check this out. I like this version a lot more, much more Estonian. this one is a little too "gospelish", it somehow does not sound Estonian. The guy singing on the link I sent is actually a drama actor. It is a very Estonian thing for drama actors to sing, but sing as actors, not trying to imitate musicians. It is a very Estonian thing and I love that.
