Latvian Folksongs
Ever Singing
Let me wander where ever I go
Ever I go singing, singing, always singing
Singing, singing ever I go
Even when I pass by unnoticed
Pass unnoticed, the thoughts of good fortune linger behind
Thoughts of good fortune enter your mind
Oh my beautiful soulful singing
Soulful singing, like praying to God and bringing good fortune
Praying to God and bringing good luck
Swift River
Swift oh swift the river's flowing
By the front of brother's house
I was not allowed to ride across it
Fearful is my faithful horse
Ride on brother sure across it
Your good horse will not be drowned
Pure white sand is on the bottom
Clear the water flows above it
My sword cuts through pure white sand
Water washes my good horse
Bright the plume upon my horse
Brighter still the reigns that guide it
Every Garden
Every garden has roses blooming
Mine alone has no roses there
Is it due to my destiny
To grow up to become a warrior
Rock me yet oh my momma dearest
You shall not have long to rock me
Ocean waves will rock me soundly
As I ride my warrior's boat
