Paroles et traduction Tautumeitas - Bērziņš

Bērziņš

Bērziņš auga uz akmiņa, uz akmiņa,
Sudrabiņa lapiņāmi, lapiņāmi;
Es gribēju vienu rauti, vienu raut',
Visas bira skanēdamas, skanēdam's.
Kas, bērziņi, tev apsedza, tev apsedza,
Tādu zaļu villainīti, villainīti?
Migla, migla, rīta rasa, rīta rasa,
Pavasara lietutiņis, lietutiņ's.
Bērziņ, tavu kuplumiņu, kuplumiņu
Līdz zemei žagariņi, žagariņ';
Māsiņ, tavu daiļu rotu, daiļu rotu,
Zemīt' slauka staigājoti, staigājot'.
Caur sidraba birzi gāju, ne zariņa nenolauzu,
Caur sidraba birzi gāju, ne zariņa nenolauzu,
Būt zariņu nolauzusi, tad staigātu sidrabota,
Būt zariņu nolauzusi, tad staigātu sidrabota.

Birch Tree

The birch tree grows on a stone, on a stone,
With silvery leaves, with leaves;
I wanted to pluck one, just one,
They all fell down with a resounding sound.
What, birch tree, has covered you, has covered you,
With such a green cloak, a cloak?
The mist, the mist, the morning dew, the morning dew,
The spring rain, the rain.
Birch tree, I admire your foliage, your foliage
Your branches reach the ground, your branches;
My love, I love your beautiful jewelry, your beautiful jewelry,
You drag it on the ground as you walk, as you walk.
I walked through the silver birch grove, not breaking a branch,
I walked through the silver birch grove, not breaking a branch,
Had I broken a branch, I would have walked away with a silver chain,
Had I broken a branch, I would have walked away with a silver chain.
