Tur guļ brāļi, karavīri, Tur māsiņas, rakstītājas.

Climbing a hill to see Who's ploughing my fatherland
Are Russians ploughing it, or Germans Or is the partridge shaking it
No Russians ploughing it, no Germans Still my brothers ploughing it
Steel shoed horses [1] Well sharpened swords
Oh my dear fatherland [2] Bought with blood
Sleeping there are brothers, warriors There sisters, weavers [3]
[1] original uses "steel forged", but that means steel horseshoes [2] dear = expensive in Latvian [3] direct translation - "writers", which can also mean weaving/sewing
