Hi from Latvia i am really interested in the baltic independence wars. Could you tell me what is said in the song? Is it about how Estonia fought the Landeswehr in Latvia? Thanks!
Hi! Yes this song is about the estonians fighting Landeswehr in Latvia. The translation would be as follows (the words marked with ? can't really be translated to english but I tried to get the gist across): The Landeswehr marched through a Latvian village street, and found the gate to Estonia in front of them. (Chorus):,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,: In Latvia the nation state faded away, and the baron said "Come! Let's go warm ourselves in Estland". :,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,: Wannabe germans?(kadakad) and pitcher boys squaked in a choir, even the sun turned his back to Estonia. :,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,: Wouldn't the knights want, wouldn't the knights want again to get a taste, of wheat, butter, eggs and white pig lard. :,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,: Landeswehr listened to this talk with joy and as a pack of wolves gathered on the border with haste. :,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,: And when the herd of caterpillars marched toward Estonia estonian men went red with anger. :,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,: Our guys said "Damn this fucking situation, let's practice our shooting on them a bit." :,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,: "Come on Landeswehr you want our land, you will get a plot of 4 times 7 feet" (size of a grave). :,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,: Kalev beat demons?(sortsilasi) again with the edge of a plank(referance to national epic Kalevipoeg) thieves as cockroaches fell in to the grave there. :,: Landeswehr you poor guy, running away with a clown's nose in front?(nina nagu nipitiri ees).:,: Herding dogs don't care for warnings unless they have gotten a good beating down. :,: Landeswehr you poor guy, running away with a clown's nose in front?(nina nagu nipitiri ees).:,: The sun started to shine brighter over Estonia Landeswehr started to drive to Waterland with a limp. :,:Landeswehr but this you don't know, where to put your head in shame:,:

Hi! Yes this song is about the estonians fighting Landeswehr in Latvia. The translation would be as follows (the words marked with ? can't really be translated to english but I tried to get the gist across):
The Landeswehr marched through a Latvian village street,
and found the gate to Estonia in front of them.
(Chorus):,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,:
In Latvia the nation state faded away,
and the baron said "Come! Let's go warm ourselves in Estland".
:,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,:
Wannabe germans?(kadakad) and pitcher boys squaked in a choir,
even the sun turned his back to Estonia.
:,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,:
Wouldn't the knights want, wouldn't the knights want again to get a taste,
of wheat, butter, eggs and white pig lard.
:,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,:
Landeswehr listened to this talk with joy
and as a pack of wolves gathered on the border with haste.
:,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,:
And when the herd of caterpillars marched toward Estonia
estonian men went red with anger.
:,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,:
Our guys said "Damn this fucking situation,
let's practice our shooting on them a bit."
:,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,:
"Come on Landeswehr you want our land,
you will get a plot of 4 times 7 feet" (size of a grave).
:,: Landeswehr but this you don't know, here your luck might wither soon.:,:
Kalev beat demons?(sortsilasi) again with the edge of a plank(referance to national epic Kalevipoeg)
thieves as cockroaches fell in to the grave there.
:,: Landeswehr you poor guy, running away with a clown's nose in front?(nina nagu nipitiri ees).:,:
Herding dogs don't care for warnings
unless they have gotten a good beating down.
:,: Landeswehr you poor guy, running away with a clown's nose in front?(nina nagu nipitiri ees).:,:
The sun started to shine brighter over Estonia
Landeswehr started to drive to Waterland with a limp.
:,:Landeswehr but this you don't know, where to put your head in shame:,:
