Lyrics and translation Mari Kalkun - Hommikuvalge

Hommikuvalge

Kui hommik käes ja laotab oma valge
üle katuste, üle orgude,
Olen mina asund ammu juba teele,
Lähemale lahtisele veele.

Pannud valmis ülikonna, viksind saapad,
Vaadand vaikusse ja pakkind ajalehed,
Kaasteelised, kas panite mul kaasa,
Mis mul vaja on, mis seal vaja on?

Mõni hõberaha värava pääl anniks,
Saunaviht ja seep, kaasa tehtud kindad.
Hundijalavett piserdamaks haavu,
Pisut tubakat, maisest ilmast.

Kas te saatsite mind lauludega teele?
Et ma kannaks neid üle aegade...

Morning Pale

When morning comes and spreads its paleness
over roofs, over valleys,
I have been on my way for a long time,
Closer to the open water.

Put on a suit, polished boots,
Looked into silence and packed the newspapers,
My companions, did you pack me as well?
What do I need, what do I need there?

A few silver coins as a gift at the gate,
A sauna whisk and soap, handmade gloves.
Wolf's paw water to sprinkle on wounds,
A little tobacco, from the earthly world.

Did you send me on my way with songs?
That I may carry them through the ages...
