Lootus

Lootus annab rõõmu olla, usu mind mu hell ja hea
Neile ongi maailm valla, kelle usk on suur
Päevi tõuseb, veereb looja, pihlapuudes vaibub tuul
Looja anna hingesooja, uinu palve suul
 
Saada kõiki meid sel kaunil maal, lootus hea ja kindel tasakaal
Tõuse lendu lind, hetkeks riivab mind, tiivavari vaid
Saada kõiki meid sel kaunil maal, lootus hea ja kindel tasakaal
Looja hoia meid kaitsva varju all, sellel kaunil maal
 
Keegi pole liiga väike, keegi pole liiga suur
Kui vaid teada saaks, kus põimub hea ja kurja juur
Lootus annab rõõmu olla, usu mind mu hell ja hea
Neile ongi maailm valla, kelle usk on suur
 
Saada kõiki meid sel kaunil maal, lootus hea ja kindel tasakaal
Tõuse lendu lind, hetkeks riivab mind, tiivavari vaid
Saada kõiki meid sel kaunil maal, lootus hea ja kindel tasakaal
Looja hoia meid kaitsva varju all, sellel kaunil maal
 
Saada kõiki meid sel kaunil maal, lootus hea ja kindel tasakaal
Saada lootus meid sel kaunil maal
 
Translation

Hope

Hope gives one joy to be, believe me, my tender and good
The world is open to those, whose faith is strong
Days begin and end1, the breeze in the junipers dies down
Lord2, give warmth to our souls, fall asleep with the prayer on your lips
 
Accompany us all in this beautiful land, good hope and good balance
Take wind, oh bird; for a moment the shadow of a wing touches me
Accompany us all in this beautiful land, good hope and good balance
Lord, hold us under your protecting shade, in this beautiful land
 
Nobody is too small, nobody is too big
If only we'd find out where good and the root of evil intertwine
Hope gives one joy to be, believe me, my tender and good
The world is open to those, whose faith is strong
 
Accompany us all in this beautiful land, good hope and good balance
Take wind, oh bird; for a moment the shadow of a wing touches me
Accompany us all in this beautiful land, good hope and good balance
Lord, hold us under your protecting shade, in this beautiful land
 
Accompany us all in this beautiful land, good hope and good balance
Accompany us all in this beautiful land

Oh my gosh, for 20 years I had been thinking this was a song about flowers without even giving it a second thought. Thank you so much for this translation.

You're most welcome. :) I fixed a typo in my translation and provided a translation for a word in the third verse, second line (the root of evil). User @nykti-eoikuia helped me correct the first verse of the lyrics.
