Legends of Tallinn (1995)

LULLABY TO THE SON OF THE BUILDER OF OLEVISTE CHURCH
Author OTT ARDER
Translated by DORIS KAREVA

Not on Earth, yet not in heaven,
wandering in search forever,
restless soul, he always seeks
utmost beauty, highest peaks.

All his dreams are full of spires,
stairs to skies - that’s what inspires
most his mind - for bad or good,
only knows Almighty God.

God Almighty, seeing farther,
keep an eye on our father,
save his ear from earthly noises,
peace-disturbing human voices.

Dearest son, beyond all sorrow
there’s a land of milk and honey.
Olev will come home tomorrow
with a silver chest of  money.
