[Battle Of Plakani, Battle Of Veisi]

Tas bija pirmas latviesu strelnieku uzvaretas kaujas
1915.gada 29.oktobri un 23.novembri, kas palidzeja apturet
Vacu armijas virzisanos uz prieksu. 1.Daugavgrivas strelnieku
Bataljona pirma rota virsnieka Fridriha Brieza vadiba
Sakava cetrreiz lielakus vacu spekus.

Nakti vismelnaka dzimat
Jus, ielu un renstelu zenki
Un tomer jus esat lieli
Jo Jus pirmie gajat gaismas sviduma vaja
Kauja pie Plakaniem, kauja pie Veisiem
No nameliem sikiem un greiziem
Pretim smaidosai Misai un Iecavai
Ar vienu domu -
Aizsargat celu uz Rigu.

Kauja pie Plakaniem, Kauja pie Veisiem
Pirma, mirdzosa, veiksma.
Dzirdiet, ka kauju gajejai pirmajai rotai
Un vinas vadonim Briedim
Soli, no purvajiem kapdamies, muziba iedim.

" Ei, puikas, kur gribat Jus list ta,
Mes zinam tas vietas, staviet,
Tur purvs prieksa un nave!"
Bet Jus tikai uzsitat knipu un teicat:
" Ei, cali, ne viri" -
Un pari purvam tai nakti Jus lidat
Bez rimas,
Jo Jusu ienaids un sikstums
Parverta vizosa grida purvu dunaino ravu.

Bet tagad es saku, lai kur es stavu,
No Kekavas, Juglas un Tirela es jutu
Ieplustam sevi divainu stravu,
Kas like manai sirdij un muskuliem augsup tiekties
Un es kliedzu:" Pieminiet Misu un Iecavu,
Pieminiet savus pulkus, visus astonus!"

Kauja pie Plakaniem, kauja pie Veisiem
Ta parverta strelnieku asinis teiksma;
Kauja pie Plakaniem, Kauja pie Veisiem
Pirma, mirdzosa un veiksma!

Battle of Plakani, Battle of Veisi

[Battle Of Plakani, Battle Of Veisi]

Those were the first victories of the Latvian Riflemen
On October 29 and November 23, 1915, which helped to stop
The German army advancing forward. The 1st Daugavgriva Riflemen
Battalion's First Company under the leadership of officer Fridrichs Briezis
Defeated the German forces that were four times larger.

In the blackest of nights, my Homeland
You, the shadows of the streets and alleys
And yet you are great
Because you were the first to go forward in the faint glimmer of light
Battle of Plakani, Battle of Veisi
From small and crooked houses
Towards the smiling Misa and Iecava
With one thought -
To defend the road to Riga.

Battle of Plakani, Battle of Veisi
First, shining, lucky.
Listen, how the first battle went for the first company
And for their leader Briedis
Step by step, getting stuck in the bogs, they walked into eternity.

" Hey, boys, where do you want to go,
We know these places, stop,
There is a bog ahead and death!"
But you just clenched your fists and said:
" Hey, you fool, not a man" -
And over that bog that night you flew
Without rest,
Because your hatred and anger
Turned the muddy, swampy bog into a fresh, green meadow.

But now I say, wherever I stand,
From Kekava, Jugla and Tirela I feel
A strange current flowing into me,
Which makes my heart and muscles grow stronger
And I shout: "Remember Misa and Iecava,
Remember your regiments, all eight of them!"

Battle of Plakani, Battle of Veisi
It turned the Riflemen's blood into a legend;
Battle of Plakani, Battle of Veisi
The first, the shining, and the lucky!
