Lyrics and translation Metsatöll - Veelind

Veelind

Oh sina hani halli lindu
Oh minu venda vesilindu
Hakka halli ilma pääle
Hakka päevaks pääle ilma
Tule maa, tule elle-ee
Tule tuhast, tule elle-ee
Tõuse veest, tõuse kõrgele
Kasva kindlaks, kasva elle-ee
Anna elu, anna rauale
Anna elu, anna kivile
Kanna rammu, kanna hõimule
Kanna maale kuhu sünnime
Anna elu, anna üsasse
Anna elu, anna idule
Kanna rammu, kanna künnile
Anna sammu kuhu läheme
Anna elul, anna elu mõõt
Säsi sisul, mis on lõõmav tee
Võta mullaks kuhu vaibume
Kirgvel kõnnul toonelateel

Waterfowl

Oh you gray she-bird
Oh my brother waterfowl
Rise in the gray sky
Rise in the day on the earth
Come earth, come there
Come from the ashes, come there
Rise from the water, rise high
Grow strong, grow there
Give life, give iron
Give life, give stone
Carry strength, carry the tribe
Carry to the land where we are born
Give life, give the womb
Give life, give the sprout
Carry strength, carry the furrow
Give the step we take
Give life, give the measure of life
Preserve the substance in the winding way
Take the soil where we sink
With passion on the path of the dead
