Esi hinnäst hummogu heräti kikkalauluga
Lätsi jäti vallalõ väräti, tulku tõõsõ ka
Saa-õi maada tii lätt jo edesim, ümbre mi õi lää
Huug om sääne et sääl kon silmäpiir ummi varbit nää
Oroviir mõtsatii ülõ jõõ ülõ mää
Tiiä-õi kohe tuu elo viil käänd
Oroviir mõtsatii ülõ jõõ ülõ mää
Tiiä-õi kohe tuu elo viil käänd

Eelä mi joht olli ja täämbä mi tulli
Ja hummõl mi jälki jo lää
Pääväkõ paistus jo kõgõ mi süämen
Ja egäl puul om miil jo hää

Täämbä mi tulli, mi olõ-õi ulli
Ja hummõl mi jälki jo lää
Pääväkõ paistus jo kõgõ mi süämen
Ja egäl puul om miil hää

Esi hinnäst hummogu heräti kikkalauluga
Lätsi jäti vallalõ väräti, tulku tõõsõ ka
Saa-õi maada tii lätt jo edesi, ümbre mi õi lää

Eelä mi joht olli ja täämbä mi tulli
Ja hummõl mi jälki jo lää
Pääväkõ paistus jo kõgõ mi süämen
Ja egäl puul om miil jo hää

Täämbä mi tulli, mi olõ-õi ulli
Ja hummõl mi jälki jo lää
Pääväkõ paistus jo kõgõ mi süämeN
Ja egäl puul om miil hää

Oroviir mõtsatii ülõ jõõ ülõ mää
Tiiä-õi kohe tuu elo viil käänd

I woke up this morning at the call of the cockerel
I went and left the gate open, let others follow
I can’t sleep, the road runs straight ahead, we’re not going around
The speed is such that I see my toes where the horizon is
Ravine, wood-path, over river, over hill
I don’t know where life will turn
Ravine, wood-path, over river, over hill
I don’t know where life will turn

Yesterday we were here and today we came
And tomorrow we’ll go again
The sun shines always in our heart
And we feel good wherever we are

Today we came, we’re not silly
And tomorrow we’ll go again
The sun shines always in our heart
And we feel good wherever we are

I woke up this morning at the call of the cockerel
I went and left the gate open, let others follow
I can’t sleep, the road runs straight ahead, we’re not going around
The speed is such that I see my toes where the horizon is

Yesterday we were here and today we came
And tomorrow we’ll go again
The sun shines always in our heart
And we feel good wherever we are

Today we came, we’re not silly
And tomorrow we’ll go again
The sun shines always in our heart
And we feel good wherever we are

Ravine, wood-path, over river, over hill
I don’t know where life will turn
