Lyrics - Estonian
(Estonian folk song)
Ehitame maja, ehitame maja,
kena väikse maja.
Kive kokku veame,
palke tooma peame
ja veel muud mis vaja.
Ehitame majakese metsa veerde,
õitsevale aasale,
lõbusasti vuliseva oja äärde,
mahlakase kõrvale.
Töö käib hoogsalt,
killa – kõlla, kopp – kopp – kopp,
hoolsalt, valvsalt,
plaani järgi tipp ja topp.
Seinad üles laome, kopsime ja taome,
kaugelt kostab kaja.
Katusegi peale
ilusasti seame,
nii meil valmis maja.
Ei me karda vihmasadu, tuulehoogu,
tantsu lööme soojas toas.
Saiakesed küpsevad meil uues ahjus,
pliidil keevad maiusroad.
Tulge külla, sõbrad,
teid me ootame.
Kõiki teid pea kohata
siin loodame.
English Translation – Let’s build a house
Let’s build a house, let’s build a house,
nice little house.
We collect the stones,
we have to bring logs
and anything else you need.
We are building a cottage on the edge of the forest,
Flowers are blooming,
fun by the winding stream,
A luscious digression.
The work is in full swing,
Ding-dong, rat-a-tat-tat,
Diligent, vigilant,
According to plan, ship-shape.
We store the walls, beat them and forge them,
there is an echo from afar.
Even on the roof
beautifully we set
so we finished the house.
We are not afraid of rain, gusts of wind,
we dance in a warm room.
Pastries bake in our new oven,
cooked dishes on the stove.
Come visit, friends,
We are waiting for you,
All you need for a visit is here,
We hope you’ll come!
