Translation of the song lyrics Resnā Minna - Nora Bumbiere, Viktors Lapčenoks, Raimonda Pauls

Resnā Minna (original)

Resnā Minna kokā kāpa
Uz puišiem lūkoties
Zariņš lūza, Minna krita
Brunči plīsa tirkšķēdam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallalā
Māte, māte, esmu brūte
Brūtgāns man aiz stūra glūn
Mutīte tam apaļa
Kā maza bērna…
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallalā
Zinu, zinu, bet neteikšu
Kāda vaina mūs' meitām
Ik vakarus liekus matus
Viena otrai tapināj'
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallalā
Zinu, zinu, bet neteikšu
Kāda vaina mūs' puišiem
Ik uz stūra garus matus
Alus mucā slapināj'
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallalā
Krauklis vārnu piegulēja
Tai piedzima kovārnēns
Tā tai vārnai vajadzēja
Kam gulēja apukšā
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallalā
Lai tie puiši kādi bija
Visi viņi labi bija
Te vien' reizi nobučoja
Man prātiņis sagriezās
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallalā
Tumsā ģīmi neredzēju
Mīlestību gan sajut‘
Gan tā pūta, gan tā elsa
Man sirsniņu kutināj‘
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallalā
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallalā
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai…

Resnā Minna (translation)

Minna climbed a thick tree
Look at the guys
Zariņš broke, Minna fell
Brunch broke into a thunderstorm
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallala
Mother, mother, I'm a brother
Brutgan is lying around the corner for me
The mouth is round
As a small child…
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallala
I know, I know, but I won't say
What a fault we have for our daughters
Hair remains every evening
Tapped each other
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallala
I know, I know, but I won't say
What a fault we guys have
Every long hair on the corner
Beer soaked in a barrel
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallala
The raven snuggled up
She was born a coward
That's what the crow needed
Who slept in the hut
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallala
Whatever those guys were
They were all fine
It was only once
My mind turned
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallala
I didn't see the gig in the dark
Feel the love
Both it blew and it blew
I tickled my heart
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallala
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rallala
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai, rā-ritam
Rai-rai, rā-ritam, rai-rai…
