Minu Lüüni on Lause lausumatta See on metsas puud Ja taeval kuu Üle lumekoorikide

Minu Lüüni on Poissi väärpööramata Ei kõigutada saa ta tenkirä Vaid andmas bitiigi püha

No kuna mõtlen Mina mõistan mida Tähendab lüünilane

Minu Lüüni On tähetaevaan alla Minu Lüüni On vaba täiesti

Ja see leidsin kuna ma rändasin Sel maailmal Minu Lüüni on Kõige kaunim maa

My Lynia is A sentence unspoken It's the trees in the woods And the moon in the sky Over crusted snow

My Lynia is An unconverted boy His paganism cannot be swayed By just giving a holy book

When I think about it I understand What it means to be Lynian

My Lynia Is underneath the starry sky My Lynia Is entirely free

And I discovered it while I wandered On this world My Lynia is The most beautiful land of all
