Ai, Dieviņi, augstu saule,
Kā vakaru sagaidīš’?
Situ koku uz kociņa,
Lai iet saule vakarā;
Lai iet saule vakarāi
Aiz deviņi ezeriņ’.
Noiet saule vakarāi,
Zelta zarus zarodam’;
Dod, Dieviņi, tā zaroti
Jele mūža galiņā.
Šai saulē, šai zemēi
Viesiem vieni padzīvoj’;
Viņa saule, viņa zeme –
Tā visami mūžiņam.
Jau saulīte aizalaida
Aiz deviņi ezeriņ’;
Noskanēja vara ķēdes,
Jūriņāi laižoties.
The sun sets beyond the nine lakes; the copper chains resound as it sinks in the sea. I am only a guest in this world. That other world, beyond the sun, is for eternity.
i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo
