Ma kuulsin seda läbi viinamarjaväädi [English translation]

Listen, listen, listen, how it flows

the river in front of your eyes with inertia

over life, over all that you perceive/understand

It has a road in front of it

Listen, listen, listen, how it flows

the river through life with the same inertia

whether you run, walk, sit, sleep or crawl

it is in full swing

Callous hands, there in the distance is the radiating sphere of the rising sun,

for years I have built a beach, sand-grain after sand-grain.

over life, over all that you perceive/understand

It has a road in front of it

Listen, listen, listen, how it flows

the river through life with the same inertia

whether you run, walk, sit, sleep or crawl

it is in full swing

Will someone melt the ice?

Will someone extend the hand

when you sit alone, a pouch/wallet in your hand

holding it like a loser in a card game?

I ask ah
