An Old Man Cutting the Tree

Olga Klaus, Emilia Naarits, Maria Vedom (1999)

Üks vanamees raidus üht kõverat puud,
ta murdis ja vaevas keik kondid ja luud.
Tade-rata-rade-ri-na-ni-na-na-na-naa,
ta-raa-raa-raa-raa-raa-rai-ni-na-na-na.
Üks vanamees raidus üht kõverat puud,
ta murdis ja vaevas keik kondid ja luud.
Tade-rita…

A popular family waltz. An old man is cutting down a crooked tree and complains that the work is hurting his bones.
