G. Wulff-Õis  

"Tender Nightingale"

eesti keeles  

Oh tender tender nightingale

Where will you sing tonight?

In baron's rosebush in the park

"Jug-jug" all through the night?

Or in the blooming bird-cherry

That grows in lovely wood,

As stars are shining high above

And in the light on moon?

 

"Oh no, my dear, I cannot sing

In baron's pretty park:

For all the blood your fathers gave

That's buried in that ground!

Nor in the blooming bird-cherry

That grows in lovely wood,

I'm singing in the holy lime

Right in the peasant's yard.
