Torm
Jüri Pootsmann Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ma peidan end, öötaeva all
Pilvelend, üleval
On raju tee ja pingul meel,
lahvatab, kõik
(ref.)Kas langeb tähti või vihm on see?
Torm murrab südame
Kui tiivad lahti laotan ma veel,
et leida linnutee.

Ja tuhast taas tõusta x4
Seisab aeg ja vaikib ilm,
valu laeb, sünnib tormisilm,
noateradel, ma mõranen,
lahvatab, kõik.
(Ref.)Kas langeb tähti või vihm on see?
Torm murrab südame.
Kui tiivad lahti laotan ma veel,
et leida linnutee.
Ja tuhast taas tõusta x4
Siin keerleb kõik, lendab läiklevaid sädemeid,
kui lõikav klaas.
See vihub minu ihul ja meenutab meid,
ja torm on taas, ja torm on taas.

Kui tiivad lahti, laotan ma veel, torm murrab südame, et leida linnutee.
Ja tuhast taas tõusta x4

Line by Line Meaning

Ma peidan end, öötaeva all
I hide myself under the night sky

Pilvelend, üleval
Flying above the clouds

On raju tee ja pingul meel,
The road is rough and my mind is tense,

lahvatab, kõik
Everything bursts open

Kas langeb tähti või vihm on see?
Are those falling stars or is it rain?

Torm murrab südame
The storm breaks my heart

Kui tiivad lahti laotan ma veel,
If I spread my wings and open them wide,

et leida linnutee.
to find the bird's path.

Ja tuhast taas tõusta x4
And rise again from the ashes x4

Seisab aeg ja vaikib ilm,
Time stands still and the weather is silent,

valu laeb, sünnib tormisilm,
Pain accumulates and a storm is born,

noateradel, ma mõranen,
On the edge of a knife, I crack,

lahvatab, kõik.
Everything bursts open.

Siin keerleb kõik, lendab läiklevaid sädemeid,
Everything is spinning here, shining sparks flying,

kui lõikav klaas.
like cutting glass.

See vihub minu ihul ja meenutab meid,
It whips against my skin and reminds me of us,

ja torm on taas, ja torm on taas.
And the storm is here again, and the storm is here again.

Kui tiivad lahti, laotan ma veel, torm murrab südame, et leida linnutee.
If I spread my wings and open them wide, the storm breaks my heart, to find the bird's path,

Ja tuhast taas tõusta x4
And rise again from the ashes x4
