Translation of the song Veri Mullas artist Untsakad

Estonian

Veri Mullas

English translation

Blood in the Soil

See oli aastal '14 kui langes vere hind

It was on the year '14 when the price of blood fell

Ja laipu ootas sõda ja kuuli ootas rind

And the war waited for corpses and the chest waited for a bullet

Adra tagant ära kisti noor ja tugev mees

Young and strong men were dragged away from the plows

Põllud ligunesid põllumehe vere sees

The fields were drenched in farmers blood

Ja nägupidi mullas kõik need mehed paremad

And in the soil, all the best men were lying on their faces

Teenisid seal keisrit jumalat ja isamaad

There they served the emperor, god and the homeland

Nende veri maasse imbus ühtus leivaviljaga

Their blood seeped into the soil and became one with the bread grain

Sellest viljast tehtud leib oli vere maitsega

The bread made from that grain tasted like blood

See oli aastal '39

It was on the year '39

Kui Hitler mõtles aeg on peale hakata

When Hitler thought it was time to start

Ja terve maailm muuta suureks Saksamaaks

And to transform the world into one big Germany

Ja ise saada maailma kuningaks

And make himself the king of the world

Jällegi siis nägupidi mullas miljon meest

Again there are about a million men lying in the soil

Läksid surma füüreri luulude eest

They went to death for the fuhrers delusions

Jälle adrad sulatati kuulipildujaiks

Once again, the plows were thawed into machine guns

Elavjõud kõik kulutati üheksandaks maiks

All the livelihood was spent on the ninth may

Kõlab siis hurraa üle maa:

Hurray is heard all over the land:

Sõda lõppend algamas rõõmuaeg

The war has ended, the happy times are beginning

Põllud jälle üles hariti

The fields were again

Käes on vaheaeg enne järgmist vaatust

Its time for a break before the next act

Uueks sõjaks valmistumisaeg

Preparation time for a new war
