Kui tuuled pöörduvad

Hei, pärib väikene mees,
lainetelt kaldavees,
kas tuuled pöörduvad.
Hei, seda teab ainult aeg,
kannab kõiki ta valge laev,
kui tuuled pöörduvad.
 
Hei, see on tormide hääl,
merede kauguses,
kui tuuled pöörduvad.
Hei, elu valikuid teeb,
meie vapruses, julguses,
kui tuuled pöörduvad.
 
On ootamas teed,
meid ookeani tuultes.
Kui seiklejad need,
me soovid, lootused.
Kui preeria,
on sinistel vetel maa.
Kui preeria...
 
Hei, sõuab kõikvõimas aeg,
tähevalgel ööl,
sest tuuled pöörduvad.
Hei, Kon Tiki või Ra,
Valhalla ja Shangri La,
meresõitjaid ootavad.
 
On ootamas teed,
meid ookeani tuultes.
Kui seiklejad need,
me soovid, lootused.
Kui preeria,
on sinistel vetel maa.
Kui preeria...
 
Oled noor ja julged minna,
tead kaotuse, võidu hinda,
seilad valguse poole.
Oma varjudest olla suurem,
võid siis kui päike kõrgem,
seilad valguse, seilad valguse poole.
 
On ootamas teed,
meid ookeani tuultes.
Kui seiklejad need,
me soovid, lootused.
Kui preeria,
on sinistel vetel maa.
Kui preeria...
 
On ootamas teed,
meid ookeani tuultes.
Kui seiklejad need,
me soovid, lootused.
Kui preeria,
on sinistel vetel maa.
Kui preeria...
 
Translation

When The Winds Turn

"Hey!" a little man inquires
from waves in coast-water
"Will the winds turn?"1
Hey, only time knows it,
its white ship carries everyone
when the winds turn.
 
Hey, it's the sound of storms
in the distance of the seas
when the winds turn.
Hey, life makes choices
in our courage, in our bravery,
when the winds turn
 
There are roads waiting
us in the winds of the ocean
These are like adventurers
our wishes, hopes...2
Like prairie...
Land on blue waters is
like a prairie...
 
Hey, almighty time rows
on a starlit night,
because the winds will turn
Hey, Kon Tiki or Ra3
Valhalla and Shangri-La
Seafarers are waiting
 
There are roads waiting
us in the winds of the ocean
These are like adventurers
[like] our wishes, hopes...
Like prairie...
Land on blue waters is
like a prairie...
 
You are young and you dare to go.
You know the price of losing and winning
You sail towards the light
To be bigger than your shadows
you can when the sun is higher4
You sail towards the light, sail towards the light.

Wow! Awesome song. Which other songs of her do you recommend? Or in estonian language in general;

In truth, I don't follow her, two songs have been sufficient for me till now, her songwriter really isn't my taste. "Rändajad" was quite special, I'd like to see how they'd top that.

All in all, my taste is quite different, mostly quite rock-like male artists. I'm not so sure you'd be interested in them (id est: the ones that I usually translate; for example Marten Kuningas, he is so intelligent, his lyrics come off as quite intellectual).

Good luck with that! How has it come this far?

[Right now I have made only 93 Est -> Eng translations, I don't think that it would be too much to look them through. Most of them have repeating names (and I like most of them). It would be nice to keep in mind that Laika Virgin tends to change their vocalist (on a certain album) very often; that Vaiko Eplik is the local etalon of good taste, Ruja is poprock classics... The one and only Estonian female artist that I have translated here and really like is Mari Pokinen.]
