Metsatöll - Veelind Lyrics

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

[English translation:]

[Birds From Water]

Oh you goose, gray bird
Oh my brother waterfowl
Fly across the gloomy sky
Sow sunlight from above

Come, earth, come
Come from ashes, come
Rise from waters, rise high
Grow strong, grow

Give life, give to iron
Give life, give to stone
Carry strength, carry it for our kin
Carry it to the land where we are born

Give life, give into wombs
Give life, give to seedlings
Carry strength, carry it for ploughing
Direct our steps to where we are going

Give life, give the measure of life
Life's pith a flaming road
Take the dirt where we fade away
Head high on the road to the other side
