Parv liigub üle vee, (The flock drifts out across the water,) tuul viib hääled kaugemale. (the wind carries their voices farther away.) Sina seisad kaldal veel, (You still remain there on the shore,) tiivad vastu külgi. (your wings folded close against your sides.) Ma keeran tuulest kõrvale, (I turn aside from the wind,) ma laskun sinu kõrvale. (and come down gently beside you.) Ei küsi, miks sa seisma jäid. (I never ask what made you stop.) Ma jään. (I stay.) Ma olen siin. (I am here.) --- Sinu samm, minu hing, (Your step, my breath,) sinu samm, minu hing. (your step, my breath.) Kui sa veel ei liigu, (If you are not ready to move,) ma ootan siin. (I’ll wait for you here.) Sinu samm, minu hing. (Your step, my breath.) Ma ootan siin. (I’ll wait for you here.) --- Siis liigume mööda kallast, (Then we begin along the shore,) algul tasa, samm-sammult. (slowly at first, one step at a time.) Sina astud, mina astun, (You take a step, and so do I,) siis korraks kõrvuti. (and for a moment, we are side by side.) Üks samm läheb veidi mööda, (One step wanders slightly out of time,) järgmine meid kokku viib. (the next one brings us back together.) Tuul tõuseb vastu meid, (The wind rises hard against us,) me läheme ikka edasi. (and still we keep moving on.) --- Sinu samm, minu hing, (Your step, my breath,) sinu samm, minu hing. (your step, my breath.) Kui sa astud edasi, (When you begin to move ahead,) ma tulen järel. (I follow where you go.) Sinu samm, minu hing. (Your step, my breath.) Ma tulen järel. (I follow where you go.) --- Ka mina jäin kord maha, (I too was once the one left behind,) parv kadus tuule sisse. (the flock fading away into the wind.) Hoidsin tiibu enda ligi, (I held my wings close to my sides,) ei teadnud, kuhu minna. (not knowing which way to turn.) Nüüd kuulen sinu samme (Now I can hear your footsteps) siin päris enda kõrval. (close beside me, clear and near.) Ma hingan sinuga samas tuules, (I breathe with you beneath the same wind,) ja minu samm läheb kergemaks. (and every step I take grows lighter.) Veel pole vaja lennata. (We don’t have to fly just yet.) --- Sinu samm, minu hing, (Your step, my breath,) sinu samm, minu hing. (your step, my breath.) Sina astud esimesena, (This time, you are the first to step forward,) mina tulen kaasa. (and I move on with you.) Sinu samm, minu hing. (Your step, my breath.) Nüüd kõrvuti. (Now, side by side.) --- Tiivad ikka vastu külgi, (Our wings are still folded at our sides,) jalge all tõuseb liiv. (but the sand is rising beneath our feet.) Kõrvuti mööda kallast, (Side by side along the shoreline,) kõrvuti mööda kallast. (side by side along the shore.) Samm-sammult. (Step by step.) Kõrvuti. (Side by side.) Samm-sammult. (Step by step.) Kõrvuti. (Side by side.)
