| Jah, merevahust murdu sööb purjelaeva rind
| Yes, the breast of a sailing ship eats the foam of the sea
|
| Täis terashalli väge on iga mehe hing
| Full steel gray power is every man's soul
|
| Kui vahuvalgeid laineid löövad iilid üle pea
| When leeches beat foamy white waves overhead
|
| Ei pelgu tunne mehed, ei hirmu nime tea
| Men know no fear, know no name of fear
|
| Kui veripunast koitu neelab meremehe silm
| When the sailor's eye swallows the blood-red dawn
|
| Siis vaba on me vaim ja vaba on me hing
| Then our spirit is free and our soul is free
|
| Kui vajub raskelt randa see merelaeva voor
| When this round of a sea-going ship sinks heavily on the beach
|
| Siis võõra ranna lehka veab iga sõõmupaar
| Then every couple of sips will take you to a foreign beach
|
| Ei toeta käsi mõõka, ei oda hoia klann
| No hand supports the sword, no spear holds the clan
|
| Ent kui tarvis, haarab tera iga rusik', raevus ramm
| But if necessary, the blade grabs every fist, a ram in fury
|
| Kui veripunast koitu neelab meremehe silm
| When the sailor's eye swallows the blood-red dawn
|
| Siis vaba on me vaim ja vaba on me hing
| Then our spirit is free and our soul is free
|
| Ei pelgu tunne süda, ei rajalt eksi samm
| The heart knows no fear, no step strays from the path
|
| Vaid vaprust seitse sülda ja vabatmehe ramm
| Only seven fathoms of bravery and a freeman's ram
|
| On meresoolast vettind' minu tuulest paakund kuub
| There is sea-salt water in my windblown cape
|
| On tormilained räsind', tüügashabe mõõtmas tuult
| There are storm waves hashing, warty beard measuring the wind
|
| Kui silmapiiri poole vaob purjelaeva mast
| When the mast of a sailing ship drifts towards the horizon
|
| On igamehe mõtted kus meremehe kast —
| There are every man's thoughts where a sailor's box—
|
| Üks peotäis mulda oma koduaia alt
| A handful of soil from your backyard
|
| Vahe tera, tükk leiba ja kiri armsamalt
| A grain of bread, a piece of bread and a sweeter letter
|
| Kui veripunast koitu neelab meremehe silm
| When the sailor's eye swallows the blood-red dawn
|
| Siis vaba on me vaim ja vaba on me hing
| Then our spirit is free and our soul is free
|
| Ei pelgu tunne süda, ei rajalt eksi samm
| The heart knows no fear, no step strays from the path
|
| Vaid vaprust seitse sülda ja vabatmehe ramm
| Only seven fathoms of bravery and a freeman's ram
|
| Ei pelgu tunne süda, ei rajalt eksi samm
| The heart knows no fear, no step strays from the path
|
| Vaid vaprust seitse sülda ja vabatmehe ramm | Only seven fathoms of bravery and a freeman's ram |
