Original lyrics
Ehitame maja
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, kop-kop-kopp!
Hoogsalt, valvsalt, plaani järgi tipp ja top.
Seinad üles laome, kopsime ja taome,
kaugelt kostab kaja.
Katusegi peale
ilusasti seame,
nii meil valmib maja.
Ei me karda vihmasadu, tuuli külmi,
tantsu lööme soojas toas.
Saiakesed küpsevad meil uues ahjus,
pliidil keevad maiusroad.
Tulge külla, sõbrad, nüüd me ootame!
Kõiki teid pea kohata siin loodame!

Let's build a house
Let's build a house! Let's build a house,
a pretty little house.
We must bring stones,
we must bring logs,
other things too.
We're building a small house by the edge of the forest,
on a blooming meadow,
by a happily gurgling stream,
by the sap-birch1
We're working fast, clank-clank, cling-cling, knock-knock!
Fast, carefully, according to plan, tip and top!2
We're laying the walls, knocking and bashing,
there is an echo from afar.
The roof too
we neatly set,
that's how we build a house.
We're not afraid of rain or wind,
we're dancing in the warm room.
Pastries are baking in the new oven,
on the stove treats are boiling.
Come visit, friends, we're now expecting you!
We're hoping to see all of you here soon!
