Vainagu Deja

Es saviju vainadziņu, līgo, Jānīti,
Trejdeviņiem ziediņiemi, līgo;
Kad uzliku galviņāi, līgo, Jānīti,
Atspīd visa pasaulīte.
Visa zāle noziedēja, līgo, Jānīti,
Jāņu dienas gaidīdama, līgo;
Papardīte tā ziedēja, līgo, Jānīti,
Pašā Jāņu vakarāi;
Pašā Jāņu vakarāi, līgo, Jānīti,
Sudrabiņa ziediņiemi.
Saule nesa zelta ziedu, līgo, Jānīti,
Meža galus veltīdama, līgo;
Eglei deva zelta cimdus, līgo, Jānīti,
Priedei zelta pirkstainīšus.
Noiet saule vakarāi, līgo, Jānīti,
Zelta starus starodama, līgo;
Dievs dod manam mūžiņami, līgo, Jānīti,
Zelta staros atstaroti.

Wreath Dance

My wreath, my wreath, my summer solstice, my John,
With thirteen flowers, my summer solstice;
When I put it on my head, my summer solstice, my John,
The whole world shines.
All the grass bloomed, my summer solstice, my John,
Waiting for the summer solstice, my summer solstice;
The fern blossomed so, my summer solstice, my John,
On the very evening of the summer solstice;
On the very evening of the summer solstice, my summer solstice, my John,
With silver flowers.
The sun brought a golden flower, my summer solstice, my John,
Consecrating the forest edges, my summer solstice;
It gave the fir golden gloves, my summer solstice, my John,
And the pine golden thimbles.
The sun sets in the evening, my summer solstice, my John,
Beaming golden rays, my summer solstice;
May God grant my life, my summer solstice, my John,
To be reflected in golden rays.
