Ootan Und
Jüri Pootsmann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ma ootan und
Kusagil suitsu ja kuskil on tuld
Ma ootan
Ma ootan
Juba jäänud õhtud pimedaks
Juba väsinud valgus vahtrapuul
Juba võõraid hääli tänaval
Mulle tundub, et meid on kaks
Mängib akna taga film
Ma ootan und
Ma ootan und
Kusagil suitsu ja kuskil on tuld
Jah ootan und
Ma ootan und
Puhub mere poolt tuul ja mu süda lööb tuld
Täna sinuta ei vaju ma unne
Öö on rahutu ja kadunud rõõm
Ma ei maga täna, ootan und
Läbi õhu, üle öö, täna tunnen
Sinu lõhna hingan sisse üks sõõm
Ma ootan und
Ma ootan und
Kusagil suitsu ja kuskil on tuld
Jah ootan und
Ma ootan und
Vaata, seal kaugel on hommikukuld
Ma ootan
Ma ootan
Sa ootad und
Sa ootad und
Sa ootad und
Sa ootad und
Sa ootad und
Ma ootan und
Hommikuvalguses süda lööb tuld
Ma ootan und
Ma ootan und
Kusagil suitsu ja kuskil on tuld
Ma ootan und
Ma ootan und
Ma ootan und
Ma ootan und
Ma ootan und
Ma ootan und
Ma ootan und
Ma ootan und
The song "Ootan Und" by Jüri Pootsmann is a love song about waiting and anticipation. The lyrics describe the feeling of waiting for someone, possibly a lover, while observing the world around. The first two lines of the chorus, "Ma ootan und, kusagil suitsu ja kuskil on tuld" (I'm waiting for a wave, somewhere there's smoke and somewhere there's fire) suggest that the person the singer is waiting for is somewhere nearby, maybe smoking or lighting a fire.
The verses describe the atmosphere surrounding the waiting. The nights are getting darker, the light is fading, and the darkness is swallowing everything, while strange voices can be heard on the streets. Despite everything, the singer persists in waiting for the person he loves, and in doing so takes comfort in their scent that he inhales.
The song's simple yet poetic lyrics convey a sense of melancholy and longing, amplified by Jüri Pootsmann's unique and expressive voice. The song's theme echoes the sentiment of many love songs, but the lyrics offer a poetic and introspective take on the emotions that come with waiting for someone.
