"Mu isamaa on minu arm" ("My Fatherland is My Love") is an Estonian poem by Lydia Koidula. The poem was first set to music for the first Estonian Song Festival in 1869 by Aleksander Kunileid. "Mu isamaa on minu arm" became a very popular patriotic song when a new melody was written by Gustav Ernesaks in 1944.〔(Gustav Ernesaks )〕 Since 1947, it is always performed at the ending of the Song Festival "Tallinna üldlaulupidu". The song may be confused with the Estonian national anthem because of the similar title and opening notes. During the Soviet regime "My Fatherland is My Love" became something of an unofficial national anthem.〔(The historical overview of Estonian Song Celebrations )〕 ==English version (non-literal)== My Fatherland is My Love, to whom I´ve given My Heart. To You I sing, my greatest happiness, My flowering Estonia! Your pain boils in My Heart, Your Pride and Joy makes me happy, My Fatherland, My Fatherland! My Fatherland is My Love, I shall never leave Him, even if I must die a hundred deaths because of Him! Does the foreign envy slander, You still live in my Heart, My Fatherland, My Fatherland! My Fatherland is My Love, and I want to rest, to lay down into Your Arms, My sacred Estonia! Your Birds will sing Sleep to Me, flowers will bloom from My Ashes, My Fatherland, My Fatherland! 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mu isamaa on minu arm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
