Jaan'kene

Jaan 'kõnõ, saan 'kõnõ,
Tii' till 'o riikene,
Üle mere minnä'-tulla',
Takast Narva naista võtta'.
Mul om naane noorõkõnõ,
Rõõsa piimä koorõkõnõ.
Täämbä omma' iks suurõ' saaja'
Ülehummõn väiko' saaja'.

John

John, John, my own John,
He's so very handsome,
Across the sea, he would come get me,
And claim me as his wife from Narva.
My husband is a young warrior,
His rosy cheeks, so strong and courageous.
Our home is large and spacious,
Where our children will grow and play.

His rosy cheeks, so strong and courageous.
Our home is large and spacious,
Where our children will grow and play.
