4 Estonian hymn. Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm
Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm, Kui kaunis oled sa! Ei leia mina iial tääl See suure laia ilma pääl, Mis mull' nii armas oleks ka Kui sa, mu isamaa! Sa oled mind ju sünnitand Ja üles kasvatand; Sind tänan mina alati Ja jään sul truuks surmani! Mul kõige armsam oled sa, Mu kallis isamaa! Su üle Jumal valvaku, Mu armas isamaa! Ta olgu sinu kaitseja Ja võtku rohkest' õnnista' Mis iial ette võtad sa, Mu kallis isamaa! English translation My native land, my joy, delight, How fair thou art and bright! And nowhere in the world all round Can ever such a place be found So well beloved as i love thee, My native country dear! My little cradle stood on thy soil, Whose blessings ease my toil. With my last breath my thanks to thee, For true to death I'll ever be, O worthy, most beloved and fine, Thou, dearest country mine! May God in Heaven thee defend, My best, my dearest land! May He be guard, may He be shield, For ever may He bless and wield O graciously all deeds of thine, Thou dearest country mine!
