Su Vaimu Sütitamine Endas (Rekindling Your Spirit Within Me)

Tahan olla tuul,
et su taevavõlvini kündida
ning lind, et lennata
üle viljapõllu,
kus rukkililled õitsevad.
~~~
Tahan olla valgus,
mis läbi pilvede end sirutab
ja üle heinamaa paistab,
et näha mu kallist kodumaad
vastu naeratamas.
~~~
Tahan olla vihm,
mis isamaad viljakaks muudab,
tema muru kastab ja värskendab,
et hetkeks vaid
eesti mulda puudutada.
~~~
Ja ma tahaks olla tuli,
mis Jaanipäeval põleb
ja kaasmaalasi soojendab
ning neid ühendab
kui päev pimedaks lä'eb.
~~~
Ning ma tahaks olla
ja lihtsalt heita end sinu rüppe,
kallis Eestimaa,
et sinu vaimus igavest' elada.


------------------------------------------


I want to be the wind
to reach the roof of your heaven,
and a bird
to fly over fields
where cornflowers blossom.
~~~
I want to be the light
that stretches through the clouds,
and shines over the meadow
to see my dear homeland
smile back at me.
~~~
I want to be the rain
that fertilizes my fatherland,
waters and freshens its grass
to touch Estonian soil
for once.
~~~
And I want to be the fire
that burns on St. John's Feast Day
and warms compatriots,
and which unites them
when the day becomes darker.
~~~
And I want to be..
and just cast myself into your womb,
dear Estonia,
to live in your spirit forever.

The first part is written in Estonian, the second part is a rough translation.
