lyrics
Zīlīte žubīte, kur tavi bērni?
- Viņpus Daugavas ozola zarā.
Kas viņus šūpos, kas viņus auklēs?
- Vējmāte šūpos, vējmāte auklēs.
Gadās vējmātei aizmiegoti.
- Ko dar’ rīksta neceldama?
Gadās rīkstei salūstot.
- Ko dar’ nazis nedarinādams?
Gadās nazim salūstot.
- Ko dar’ kalējs nekaldams?
Gadās kalejam nomirstot.
- Ko dar’ pasaule neradīdama?
(The wind ceases to rock the cradle, the stick to rouse the wind cracks, the knife to cut another stick breaks, the blacksmith crafting another knife dies. Why does the world not create another?)
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
