Translation of the song lyrics Veelind - Metsatöll

Veelind (original)

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

Veelind (translation)

Oh you goose gray birds
oh my brother's waterfowl
hacked the hall without air
start to burn for a day without
Come on, come on
come from the ashes, come elle-ee
rise from the water, rise high
grow fixed, grow elle-ee
Give life, give iron
give life, give a stone
bear the ram, bear the tribe
apply to the land where we are born
Give life, give birth
give life, give to germ
apply the ram, apply to the plow
give a step where we're going
Give life, give life measure
core content, which is a blazing tea
take to the ground where we are still
on a passionate path on the road
