Lyrics and translation Raimonds Pauls feat. Nora Bumbiere & Viktors Lapčenoks - Grieze

Grieze

Meitene mana grieze griezīte
Gūstīja veda sauca papardēs
Sapina mani priecīgs apinis ai apinis
Ar griezi ar griezīti

Meitene mana grieze griezīte
Meitenēm citām pogas izgrieza
Sapinās soļi vienā vītenī ai vītenī
Ar griezi ar griezīti

Meitene mana grieze griezīte
Pateica man ka dzirkles nesarūs
Mūžīgi laikam tādēļ dzīvošu ai dzīvošu
Ar griezi ar griezīti
Ar griezi ar griezīti
Ar griezi ar griezīti

Sorrow

My girl, my sorrow, my sorrow, my grief
Took me dancing in the woods
Merry vine entwined me, oh vine, oh vine
With sorrow, with grief

My girl, my sorrow, my sorrow, my grief
Cut out buttons for other girls
Our steps entwined in a single thread, oh thread, oh thread
With sorrow, with grief

My girl, my sorrow, my sorrow, my grief
She told me that sparks don't rust
Therefore I will live forever, oh forever
With sorrow, with grief
With sorrow, with grief
With sorrow, with grief
