Paroles et traduction Tautumeitas - Pelīte

Pelīte

Atvelc, pelīte, miedziņu,
Caur klēti, caur namu, caur istabiņu.
Pele čīkst, pele raud,
Pelei rati salūzuš'.
Pelei rati salūzuš',
Bērnam miegu vadājot.
Šūpoju, auklēju baložu bērniņus,
Es pate balode zariņa galā,
Atskrēja vāvere, nosvieda zemē,
Sniedz', sniedzu rociņu, nevaru sasniegt,
Sauc', saucu balsīti, nevaru sasaukt.
Šūpo, eglīte, baložu bērnu,
Es pate šūpoju sav' bāleliņu.

Little Mouse

Bring, little mouse, some sleep,
Through the barn, through the house, through the little room.
The mouse squeaks, the mouse cries,
The mouse's cart has broken down.
The mouse's cart has broken down,
While bringing sleep to the child.
I rock and cradle the dove's babies,
I myself am a dove on the branch's end,
A squirrel came running, knocked me to the ground,
I reached, I reached my little hand, I couldn't reach it,
I called, I called with my little voice, I couldn't call.
Rock, little fir tree, the baby dove,
I myself am rocking my little baby.
