- Once you have heard this song, you want hear it more and more..
"Ta lendab mesipuu poole" (He flies towards beehive) is a poem by Juhan Liiv and composition by Miina Härma and Peep Sarapik. Juhan Liiv (30 April 18641 December 1913) is one of Estonia's most famous poets. - Hudba
I am an American and I have absolutely no idea what they are saying, however, the tune and the sights of the people moved me almost to tears and gave me chills from its beauty. Music truly does speak to the heart where words aren't necessary.
I think this one of the most wonderful song I've ever gotten to sing, I wish I could go to Estonia this year for laulupidu, all I have to say to this is Ilus
Thank you very much, dear Estonians, for this beautiful song! Jumal onnistagu ja kaitsegu teid, armad eestlased! Ma olen uks soomlane emigrant kes elab Metro Manilas, Filippiineil.
Now that I've read Liiv's biography in Wikipedia, I cannot stop feeling sad. What a wonderful poet that had to struggle with something he couldn't beat and gave him so much sufferance. Is marvelous that you Estonians honour him so beautifully. We have a great poet who died poor, forgotten and ill, and nobody reminds of him. We are an ashaming nation. Long live Eestimaa!
Thank you, Estonia for the display of your nations spirit
I came across this song while searching for the poet Juhan LIv, whom I had read an article about. The massed voices and spirit in this song are so beautiful that I come back here and listen to it a couple of times a year. Thank you for posting.
This beautiful songs hits home.That is how I feel.
The most beautiful and touching words how this lonely honeybee will always fly towards his beehive-his home and holy place......
+Peeter Valing yes,as thousands will fall but even more thousands make their way to home
Andreas, Estonia is my country of birth and I was singing on 1969 anniversary Singing Festival etc,
1amnott3ll1ng, You are most welcome! As an appetizer, imagine 30 000 singers, PLUS some 50 000 to 100 000 of audience singing back. Now, TRY to imagine a choir of more than 100 000 voices. Imagine the pure, immense, unstoppable POWER of THAT!
One thing I do guarantee - Your life will not EVER be the same again.
I did a very rough calculation, and 100k audience in Estonia is like 2.2M audience in Poland... I'm speechless :)
@@ApprenticePL you're just a tiny bit off, it'd be 2,89M. Otherwise... yeah. Given it's a two-day event (three days, if you count Dance Celebration as well) the total number is even higher. And you're welcome next time too!
@@takuan71 Thank you! (No idea why I didn't notice your reply a week ago, lol)
For the time being, I'm friends with just one Estonian, I'm struggling to switch industries and still make a living, and dealing with high Covid in Poland... but Estonia has climbed very high into my bucket list, lol :) (especially getting an autograph from Mr Hendrik Lindepuu, haha :))
In case another Pole sees this comment, I even did a versified relay translation based on the fan translations posted here :) But please don't sign my name on it because not speaking any Estonian and doing this is a disgrace to my profession (that I committed with great delight xD)
Pszczoła obleci za kwiatem kwiat,
i leci łączyć się z rojem;
burzowa chmura spowija świat,
a ona łączy się z rojem.
Tysiące ich upada w drodze swej,
tysięcy wraca do domu więcej,
rzuciwszy smutki i znoje
zlatuje łączyć się z rojem
Duszo ma, duszo, jak w czasie prób
wzdychasz do ojczyzny swojej;
czy dom masz tu, czy z obcych dróg,
tęsknisz do ojczyzny swojej!
Gdy szarpie tobą śmiertelny wiatr
i kul nad tobą śmiertelny grad,
niepomna na śmierć i znoje
spieszysz do ojczyzny swojej.
es ist nicht nur ... das Lied - es ist "der Mensch.." - diese grenzenlose Liebe die so deutlich zu erleben ist... Wunderschön solche Momente mt erleben zu dürfen - DANKE
danke
Very touching from my birthplace, Eesti! My heart fills with emotion and my eyes fill up with tears when I hear this song!
The little bee flies from flower to flower,
her hive getting closer every hour.
thunderclouds over her they threaten and glower,
but home gets closer every hour.
Though thousands fall upon the way,
thousands will survive and stay.
The little bees forget their care and worry,
as towards their hive they hurry.
Soul, oh my soul, when times are bad --
Oh, how you long for your homeland!
Whether at home, or abroad and sad,
how you long for your homeland.
The deadly winds, oh how they buffet and thrash,
and throw deadly missiles across your path.
But the little bee forgets both death and pain,
and hurries to come home again !
Soul, oh my soul, when times are bad --
Oh, how you long for your homeland!
Whether at home, or away and sad,
Oh, how you yearn for your homeland,
Oh, how you yearn for your homeland!

thank you for your translation!
Hilary Bird ❤😢❤
Thank you for this translation ❤️
I got an Estonian flag while I was there in 2014. It's pinned to my wall right now.
Decent chance i sold you that flag :D
The Estonians have a beautiful culture. I would also like to have such cohesion here in germany.
I dont have a clue what they are singing but it sounds amazing.
Ive been dancing AND singing there!!! ITS SO POWERFUL FEELING
I used to sing in my old middle and high school choir, thanks to that I got to sing twice at the Song Festival. Been a couple of years from I last sang though. I think most estonians follow the Song and/or Dance Festival either by singing in the choir, being in the audience, watching it from the TV or going to cheer at the parade of singers while they march through the city to the grounds. I'm also lucky enough to live quite close by. :D
BELLISSIMO EMOZIONANTE NELLA SUA MAESTOSITA'
Beautiful people
@xwiirastusx @Anteia189 Absolutely, this song has everything an anthem should have, both in tune and lyrics. There are a lot of Estonian songs which move me deeply, of the classical ones it's e.g. "Mu isamaa on minu arm", of the newer songs it's "Palve", "Koit" sung by Tõnis Mägi or "Ilus maa". But this song really sends shivers down my spine, gives me goose bumps and brings tears to my eyes each time I listen to it. Looking at all the people singing it with so much dedication, it's magnificent!
This beautiful song illustrates so powerfully the value of nationhood. Those who are hell-bent on undermining the nation state, have no understanding of what an important building block it is of human identity. Without them, the world would quickly descend into chaos.
You are welcome fullagrace78:) I watched it again just now and I still get the same lump in my throat watching it, its just beautiful.
Thank you for those words!
Awesome
Que envidia, sana, me dan este pueblo que esgrima su bandea y ama a su país...
Lo dice un español que ve como los mismos ciudadanos, con consentimiento político, están destruyendo y dividiendo a España.
Los países más pequeños y desconocidos tienen eso, que aman a su patria, por muy pequeña que sea. Lo mismo pasa en Letonia y Lituania. También me encanta la tradición de este país, por lo que he leído, son (Estonia, Lituania y Letonia) países tan tranquilos, tan civilizados para vivir, que en verdad, al igual que usted, me da envidia.
Sería bueno que aprendiéramos a tener la paz y armonía que ellos tienen, que tanta falta le hace al mundo hoy en día. Mientras están todos en guerras políticas, ahí tiene a estos 3 países, totalmente alejados de todo y viviendo en paz ¡Que mejor!
Saludos desde Chile.
Armas ! This was such a good moment !
English translation:
*It Flies Towards the Beehive*
It flies from flower to flower
and flies towards the beehive;
and a thundercloud rises,
it flies towards the beehive.
And thousands fall to the road,
thousands more reach home
and carry away the toil and care
and fly towards the beehive.
Soul, oh soul, at a difficult time -
how you long for the fatherland;
whether you are at home, whether in a foreign land -
how you yearn for the fatherland
And let the wind of death blow against you
and the bullet of death fly towards you:
you will forget death and care
and will hurry towards the fatherland!
Soul, oh soul, at a difficult time -
how you long for the fatherland;
whether you are at home, whether in a foreign land -
:;: how you yearn for the fatherland :;:
thank you so much for the translation!
I Need a Better Username If you have any others you wish a translation for, then let me know!
Kui see laul eesti hümniks... Ma ei suudaks laulda sest mul tuleb nutt kurku :'(
Igatahes, Elagu Eesti!
Ma laulsin seal, ülivõimas tunne!
Amazing!
2009 laulupeol, kust see video pärit on, oli see täitsa kavas...
2011 oli spontaanne ja tänu sellele natuke konarlik esitus.. :)
in the Language of love and freedom;)
see on ikka tõesti midagi sellist, mille kohta ei leidu sõnu. kaare all laulda on hoopis ikka midagi muud kui lihtsalt vaadata, veel võimsam. nii armas :) see aasta jälle kindlasti
Hermosa
Nii lahe, et täna ka laulupeol rahva algatusel laulsime seda :D
Pesuhir, thank you very much for the English translation. I have saved it to keep:)
Very Welsh..... for Estonia..
Teeme ära 2011! "Ta lendab mesipuu poole" EESTI HÜMNIKS.
Estonians and latvians sing the same language!
Greetings from Latvia
praegugi veel külmavärinaid tekitav (: mõnus.
I must go to a laulupidu!!
Si , si..... Muy bonito..... A ver si en de cantar tan bien aprender a cultivar el corazón y saber lo que es y demostrar cariño
Does anybody know where in America you can download this song? I have searched EVERYWHERE! I may have to be content to just watch this every day:)
Ma laulsin ka seal, olen laulnud 2 korda :) ikka väga vägev oli !! (Y)
võimas, pole sõnu. Aga mega loks ikka ka sees:D
@Blackoutx4500x Thank you to the folks that helped me get this song!
parim palju õnne sünnipäevaks Eesti
Poor Liiv, he died poor and mad. All the Estonians I've ever met were really nice people (versus the Latvians who seem all mad!), and this song makes those from big and powerful nations like the USA and China feel really lucky, at least they're viing to be global bigboss with all the usual nonsense that comes with it, whilst these Estonians are simply fighting so hard for simple recognition and independence, and no, Estonia doesn't belong to Suomi either!
@Seneka80 What do you mean "sing the same language" ? :)
@Blackoutx4500x He flies from flower into flower
And flies toward the hive.
& a thunder cloud rises up
He flies toward the hive
& thousands fall on the road
Still thousands make it home
& take care and worry
& fly toward the hive!
Soul, oh soul, at hard times,
How do you sigh towards your homeland..
At home or at foreign land
How do you grasp towards your homeland..
And death wind may blow to you
And bullets may fly to you
You forget death and care
And hurry towards the homeland!
Kajuks ei õnnestunud :D
Lahe, musubeebi @ 2:39
There are quite many songs, but not all of them are sang every year. A definite must is Mihkel Lüdig's "Koit" which is the starting song of the Song Festival. watch?v=oR0wvCpCZ7o
I'll scan and send you the music sheet later.
oih, mitte kolmas vaid neljas (:
Hmm, olen see ainult mina või... kõlab tõesti kolmas salm...nagu mööda...??
Kui ma seda laulan, tunnen, et olen näost lilla. :S - võtab füüsiliselt (kui ka vaimselt) hingetuks :')
@bubux007 :D:D
KRIKIN KAJA PÖHÖ
See laul peaks olema Eesti hümn
The Instrumental feels not fitting and too loud.
