Ennemuiste õitsesid kõik õied, haljas metsas laulis laululind.

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.

Ennemuiste paistis hele päike, hõbe helgil säras vete pind.
In days of yore the bright sun shone, with silver gleam the water’s surface sparkled.
Ennemuiste õitsesid kõik õied, haljas metsas laulis laululind.
In days of yore all blossoms bloomed, in verdant woods the songbird sang.
Ennemuiste olin sulle armas, ennemuiste armastasin sind.
In days of yore I was dear to you, in days of yore I loved you.
