Teisel Pool
Jüri Pootsmann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Minu ümber pole enam sinu käed
Keegi ütles
Aeg möödub linnutiivul
Eks me näe...
Siin toas on külm
Kuigi suvi on veel noor
Või langeb südamesse
Halli taeva loor
Teisel pool liini
Vaid ootan su häält
Videviku valges
Embab mind tuul
Kas usud mind
Et mulle meeldib jalutada
Mööda kuud
Sest kuu on mulle truu ja
Peegelpidlis
Pilt on suur?
Või arvad veel
Et olen peast ma veidi põrunud
Et süda rinnus lõhutud
Ja armastus on
Hall ja kahvatu...
Teisel pool liini
Ootan su häält
Videviku valges
Embab mind tuul
Mind embab vaid tuul...
Teisel pool liini
Ootan su häält
Videviku valges
Embab mind tuul
The lyrics to Jüri Pootsmann's song "Teisel Pool" (On the Other Side) are quite poetic and express the feeling of loneliness and longing. The beginning of the song sets the scene of a cold room with the absence of someone's touch, possibly a lover, as the singer wonders if their wish will come true or if their heart will be covered with a veil of grey sky. The repetition of the phrase "Siin toas on külm" (it's cold in this room) reinforces the loneliness and emptiness that the singer feels.
The chorus of the song, "Teisel pool liini, vaid ootan su häält, videviku valges, embab mind tuul" (On the other side of the line, I wait only for your voice, in the twilight's glow, the wind embraces me), suggests that the singer is waiting for a phone call or a message from the person they miss. The wind represents the emptiness and the isolation the singer feels by being alone. In the second verse, the singer asks if the listener believes in the beauty of walking through the moon, explaining how much the moon inspires the singer, and if they think the singer is crazy for having a broken heart and faded love.
Overall, "Teisel Pool" is a melancholic and reflective song about loneliness and longing for someone's presence.
