Sun, thunder, the river Daugava The sun placed the Letts Where the ends of the earth meet The white sea, the green earth The Letts had the key to the gate The Letts had the key to the gate And guarded the river Daugava. Strangers broke the gate The key fell into the sea. Thunder hurled a blue lightening bolt, from the devils he took the key. The Letts locked up death alive, The white sea, the green earth The Letts locked up death alive, The white sea, the green earth The sun placed the Letts By the edge of the white sea The wind raised a sandstorm what can Lettish children drink? The water of life, the water of death Flowed into the river Daugava. I dip my fingertip in the river I feel both in my soul The water of death, the water of life I feel both in my soul The sun is our mother, The river Daugava -- nursemaid of our pain. Thunder -- who strikes devils He is our father.
