Isa Süda Lyrics

Isa süda, rauast süda raske
hoovas sõnu kaljumüüri summa
mis raadasid-raiusid lainehordidena
need leidnud kodu hinge tule kumas

Vihas, tormis, ühisjõus
rammu tuultest kogus

Ei saanud teda hõbe, ei saanud teda kuld
süda vaid teenis terast ja tuld
hääl kui laante kaikuv müha
isal oli raske rauast süda

Ta salameeltes sõnas rammu vaba hinge
tõukas ülbed ja reetis arad meis
valades verd, unustas valu, silmad sulges
vandus südamest, raskest painest tardus


Meil on omad kangelased
nende jõud on meite hinges

Aastad läksid, armastus südamest kadus
hing laanena kaikus kui otsatu müha
tuleme kokku, laulame ridasid vanu
isal raske, raske rauast süda

Tõuske me vennad, tõuske õeksed
hoidke seda oma hinges.


English Translation (Father's Heart)


Father's heart, heart heavy from iron
Words flushed to throng at the cliff
They hewed and hacked like hordes of waves
They found a home in the glow of the soul's light

In rage, in storm, in united strength
Gathered strength from gales

Silver did not catch him, nor did gold
His heart served nothing but steel and flame
Voice like the soughing of deep forests
Father had a heavy iron heart

In his inner soul grew the might of an unfettered soul
He disgraced the haughty and betrayed the cowards among us
Shedding blood, he forgot the pain, closed his eyes
Cursed from his heart, froze from the heavy burden

We have our heroes
Their might is in our souls

Years passed, love vanished from hearts
Souls echoed like forests endlessly soughing
We gather together to sing the lines of old
Father has a heavy, heavy heart of iron

Rise, you brothers, rise, you sisters
Keep it in your souls
