National Anthem of Estonia
Original Version
MU ISAMAA MU ÕNN JA RÕÕM
Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm,
kui kaunis oled sa !
Ei leia mina iial teal
see suure, laia ilma peal,
mis mul nii armas oleks ka,
kui sa, mu isamaa !
Sa oled mind ju sünnitand
ja üles kasvatand;
sind tänan mina alati
ja jään sull’ truuiks surmani,
mul kõige armsam oled sa,
mu kallis isamaa !
Su üle Jumal valvaku,
mu armas isamaa !
Ta olgu sinu kaitseja
ja võtku rohkest õnnista,
mis iial ette võtad sa,
mu kallis isamaa !
English
Translation
My Native Land,
My Pride and Joy
My native land, my joy, delight,
How fair thou art and bright !
And nowhere in the world all round
Can ever such a place be found
So well beloved as I love thee,
My native country dear !
My little cradle stood on thy soil,
Whose blessings case my toil.
With my last breath my thanks to thee,
For true to death I´ll ever be,
O worthy, most beloved and fine,
Thou, dearest country mine !
May God in Heaven thee defend,
My best, my dearest land !
May He be guard, may He be shield,
For ever may He bless and wield
O graciously all deeds of thine,
Thou dearest country mine !
