Õhtu Ilu - Pärt Uusberg

This beautiful song is a folksong, or rather a combination of three folksongs, in an Estonian poetic style called regilaul. The lyrics of old Estonian folksongs were written down more than a hundred years ago, but in most cases the music was not, so modern singers or choirs often sing the old words to their own new melodies. Pärt Uusberg’s version of this song is excellent, both peaceful and powerful, which is fitting for the title: Õhtu Ilu (“Evening Beauty” or “The Beauty of Evening”). A partial translation of the Estonian lyrics is: “Who hides the sun from us, who steals the moonlight? God hides the sun from us, the Creator steals the moonlight. Let the blessed morning come, let the sun rise over the forest.”
