Songs of Siberian Estonians

II 18 If just the trees and flowers knew

Berta Hank, Berta Kalamis, Erna Kalamis (1998)

Kui tiiaksivadõ lilled-puud,
kui haige minu rind,
nad avaksivad omad suud
ja trööstiksivade mind.

Kui aga nendele teadmata,
et haige minu rind,
ja ainult seda tiiad sa
ja sa ei tröösti mind.

A girl believes that if only the flowers and the trees would know her sorrow, they would comfort her.
