Text & Translation

Üks ainus kord ('Only Once More')
Estonian source: Anna Haava

Üks ainus kord veel tahaks su silma vaadata,
Su hääle magust kõla veel korra kuulata.
Üks ainus kord, mu armas, veel mulle laula sa –
Oh sinu laulu kuuldes on õnnis sureda, on õnnis sureda.

Only Once More
English translation © Kai Rüütel

Only once more let me look into your eyes,
Let me hear once more the sweet sound of your voice.
Only once more, my dear, sing for me yet –
Oh, while hearing your song, it is blissful to die, it is blissful to die.

Oh, while hearing your song, it is blissful to die, it is blissful to die.
