"Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm" ('My Fatherland, My Happiness and Joy) is the national anthem of Estonia. It was adopted as the national anthem (riigihümn) in 1920.
The lyrics were written by Johann Voldemar Jannsen and are set to a melody composed in 1848 by Fredrik (Friedrich) Pacius which is also that of the national anthem of Finland: "Maamme".
(English Lyrics/Translation)
My fatherland, my joy and happiness,
How beautiful you are!
I shall not find such ever
In this huge wide world
Which would be so dear to me
As you, my fatherland!
You have given me birth
And raised me up;
I shall thank you always
And remain faithful to you 'til death,
To me most beloved are you,
My precious fatherland!
May God watch over you,
My precious fatherland!
Let Him be your defender
And provide bountiful blessings
For whatever you undertake,
My precious fatherland!
Lyrics: Johann Voldemar Jannsen, 1869
Music: Fredrik (Friedrich) Pacius, 1848
