Mart Saar. "Ta tuli" ("He Came"). Iris Oja, Kadri-Ann Sumera

Estonian composer Mart Saar (1882-1963)
He Came
Lyrics: Ernst Enno
He came and looked at my eyes -
the chainlets so heavy with feelings -
He came and looked at my eyes,
and then he set on her way.
I went and searched for his trail,
to the night’s yard I reached.
Night stood and looked at my eyes -
night held by chainlets of feelings -
night stood and looked at my eyes,
I set on my way.
I went and searched for the trail,
to the day’s yard I reached.
Day stood and looked at my eyes -
the chainlets so heavy with feelings -
day stood and looked at my eyes -
I set on my way.
I then looked at my eyes
and found that all the trails
led to my soul...
