Text & Translation

Ennemuiste ('In Days of Yore')
Estonian source: Leena Gross

Ennemuiste paistis hele päike, hõbe helgil säras vete pind.
Ennemuiste õitsesid kõik õied, haljas metsas laulis laululind.
Ennemuiste olin sulle armas, ennemuiste armastasin sind.

In Days of Yore
English translation © Kai Rüütel

In days of yore the bright sun shone, with silver gleam the water’s surface sparkled.
In days of yore all blossoms bloomed, in verdant woods the songbird sang.
In days of yore I was dear to you, in days of yore I loved you.
