Flax for the Sliders!
Reet Sutt Kihnu (1937)
Lina ljõugu, pitkä kiudu,
kaski,
linad ljõulaskõjallõ,
takud tagatõukajallõ,
tutrad tuaistujallõ!
Mede linad metsäpikkusõs!
Slide flax, long fibres,
kaski,
flax for the sliders,
tow for the pushers,
mud-rushes for those sitting inside!
May our flax be tall as trees!
