Ruja

Ruja was one of the foremost Estonian rock bands of the 1970s and 1980s. The name of the band comes from a neologism "ruja", for science fiction, though there are people who believe that "ruja" is actually made up of the first letters of the band's important members (R – Rein Rannap, U – Urmas Alender, J – Jaanus Nõgisto and A – Andrus Vaht). The band released their first and self-titled album in 1979. Many of the original melodies of Ruja were composed by Rein Rannap.

The band was created by Rein Rannap in 1971 while in the 11th grade. Ruja's 3 first members were Rein Rannap, Urmas Alender and Andrus Vaht.

On September 28, 1994, the band's lead singer, Urmas Alender, died in the sinking of passenger ferry M/S Estonia. After Alender's funeral concert a couple of days later, the remaining members of the band decided never to perform under the name of "Ruja" again.

    by: Ruja

    Veel pike paitab lainte varju
    veel tuulte eest ei otsi varju
    veel sdameis on soe kui suvepev
    Kuid usu, mda kik leb
    ja siis kui sgis on kes
    vihm sinu aknale taob ja taob
    kuni ta kaob ja vtab kaasa sind
    Veel des sinu samme kuulen
    veel avanevad palved suured
    veel pimeduses niilab habras leek
    Kuid usu, mda kik leb
    ja kskord vsivad ked
    mis seni hoidnud on seda tuld
    avaneb muld ja vtab kaasa ta mind
    Veel igatsusi hinges tuikab
    veel unistuste luikgi huikab
    veel kuskil krgel luigeparv on teel
    Kuid usu, mda kik leb
    ja saabub lahkumispev
    siis mberringi on sdatalv
    lume all ei enam erista sind
    Ma suan pilvena sl
    kus hbub paljude hl
    ja tunnen, oleksin nagu muld
    valge lind, mmmmm
    Ma sinu laulusse kaon
