MU ISAMAA ON TIMER ARM

Mu isamaa minutes we arm,
südant annud kel ma
sul my Laulan , Mu Onn ulema,
õitsev Eestimaa mu!
Su won multiple Keeb Sudama,
your joy and happiness makes me happy,
my fatherland

My Fatherland is My Love,
do not miss him, I
and the death of hundreds I
therefore, to die!
Are foreign envy slander,
You still live in the heart of
my fatherland!

My Fatherland is My Love,
Tahan ja puhata,
knew Ruppe heidan Unel,
mu Estimaa Puha!
Su linnud und multi laulavad,
mu põrmust lilled õitsetad,
isamaa mu!

MY SWEET COUNTRY, AS I LOVE

My sweet country, I like it!
My heart belongs to him.
For you I sing, my happiness, my
Estonia flowers!
Your pain at the back end of me,
Your happiness and your joy is mine,
O my country!

My sweet country, I like it!
Point will never leave,
Even if I succumb to it
More than a thousand deaths!
Never mind the gossip jealous!
You'll live forever in my heart,
O my country!

My sweet country, as I love you!
I would fall asleep,
Replace all in the palm of you,
My sacred Estonia!
Your birds will sing for me
Your flowers will grow on my body,
O my country!
