Nāves sala

[Death Island]

No 1916.gada pavasara lidz rudenim otrais un tresais
Strelnieku bataljons kopa ar krievu dalam aizstaveja
Nelielu nocietinajumu Daugavas kreisaja krasta - prieksa
Bija ienaidnieks, aizmugure - plata upe,
Apkart - klajs akmenains lauks. Aizstaveties nacas
Zem vacu savinu un indigo gazu uguns, kas prasija
Lielus cilveku upurus, tapec si vieta tika saukta
Par Naves salu.

Tumsi tek Daugavina
Smagus, melnus vilnus vel
Lielgabalu dobjus dardus
No vina krasta pari cel

Tur Naves salas uguns lauka
Lodes tikai dziesmas dzied
Un indes gazem piepilditi
Savini cert elpu ciet

Bet ne jau raud un gauzas strelki
Zem granatuguns tie jautri smej
Jo zina drosi, par taisnu lietu
Tie savas asinis te lej

Death Island

[Death Island]

From spring to autumn of 1916, the second and third
Rifle battalions together with Russian units defended
A small fortification on the left bank of the Daugava - in front
There was an enemy, behind - a wide river,
Around - a vast rocky field. They had to defend themselves
Under fire from German shells and indigo gases, which demanded
Great human sacrifices, so this place was called
Death Island.

Darkness flows in the Daugava
Heavy, black waves roll
The thunder of cannons
From one bank to another

There, on the battlefield of Death Island
Only bullets sing songs
And filled with poison gases
The fumes scorch the breath

But the riflemen do not cry or lament
They laugh merrily under the grenade fire
For they know for sure that for a just cause
They pour their blood here
