Parmumäng

tere tere kullake
kuidas läheb eluke
mul on elu nagu õis
aga see ka mõni mõis
mööda vanalinna ma
käisin kolme plikaga
valli baar on minu arm
pilli kinkis mulle parm
 
tere tere kullake
kuidas läheb eluke
mul on elu nagu õis
siin on torupilli põis
põie tühjaks mängime
ja siis läeme sängi me
igaühel oma säng
elu on üks parmumäng
 
tere tere kullake
kuidas läheb eluke
trilla-talla-trallalla
trilla-talla-trallalla
tere

Playing the mouth harp

Hello, hello, darling
How is your little life going?
My life is like a blossom,
but it's not a mansion1
Around the Old Town
I roamed with three girls
Valli's bar is my love
and a drunkard gifted me the harp
 
Hello, hello, darling
How is your little life going?
My life is like a blossom,
here is the bag of the bagpipe,
we'll play the bag empty
and then we'll go to bed
Every one us has got their own bed,
life is nothing more than playing the mouth harp
 
Hello, hello, darling
How is your little life going?
Trilla-talla-trallalla
Trilla-talla-trallalla
Hello
