English Subtitles:
To begin anew for the thousandth time over if need be,
a thousand years of rising, not a swan's flight
To deny one's nationality
is as bad as to allow onë to be made a släve.

Chorus:
An Estonian I am and an Estonian I shall remain,
if an Estonian I was meant to be.
Estonians we are proud and glad to be,
as freely as our grandfathers.
Yes, just as freely as our grandfathers.

A thousand thunder-voices demand:
free coasts, ancient homesteads, the sacred soil.
A thousand by thousand steadfast minds,
despite it all, keep alive the sacred flame.

Chorus:
An Estonian I am and an Estonian I shall remain,
if an Estonian I was meant to be.
Estonians we are proud and glad to be,
as freely as our grandfathers.
Yes, just as freely as our grandfathers.

Just as those true men.
