Eesti muld ja Eesti süda (Estonian Soil & Estonian Heart) - English subtitle

Music by Rein Rannap (1953-) Lyric by Lydia Koidula (1843-86) Performed by Ott Lepland & Rein Rannap Lyric: Heart, how quick and hot you start to beat when I speak your name, holy Estonia, land of my fathers I have seen both good and evil, had my share of loss Some in my life will be left behind, but I won’t ever forget you I have breathed upon your bosom when I could barely take a step I have drunk of your air, when I shouted out from joy You have seen my tears, you have heard my troubles Estonia - my work, my songs, I came to tell you about them Oh I can never explain in words how you fill my heart In your arms I long to rest one day for my final sleep Like a mother you will cover the beating chest of a child Estonian soil and an Estonian heart - who has the strength to break them apart?
