| Šī upe netek kā citas uz jūru
| This river does not flow to the sea like others
|
| Tās krasta šonakt es uguni kūru
| Its shore tonight I kindle a fire
|
| Tai dievs ir devis tik bagātu pūru
| God has given her such a rich dowry
|
| Šī upe netek kā citas uz jūru
| This river does not flow to the sea like others
|
| Tā klusa, maiga bet brīžiem tik strauja
| It's quiet, gentle, but sometimes so fast
|
| Tā nav ne Venta, ne Irbe, ne Gauja
| It is neither Venta, nor Partridge, nor Gauja
|
| Tā neraizējas ja dzīve par sūru
| It doesn't worry if life is hard
|
| Šī upe netek uz jūru
| This river does not flow to the sea
|
| Viņa zied un smej
| She blooms and laughs
|
| Viņa dzied un dej
| She sings and dances
|
| Viņa nāk man līdz
| She comes to me
|
| Vakars tas vai rīts
| Evening or morning
|
| Tā nav ne Venta, ne Irbe, ne Gauja
| It is neither Venta, nor Partridge, nor Gauja
|
| Tā klusa, maiga, bet brīžiem tik strauja
| It's quiet, gentle, but sometimes so fast
|
| Tās krastā šonakt es uguni kūru
| On its banks tonight I build a fire
|
| Šī upe netek uz jūru
| This river does not flow to the sea
|
| Viņa zied un smej
| She blooms and laughs
|
| Viņa dzied un dej
| She sings and dances
|
| Viņa nāk man līdz
| She comes to me
|
| Vakars tas vai rīts
| Evening or morning
|
| No sirds uz sirdi tek miljoniem strautu
| Millions of streams flow from heart to heart
|
| Un saplūst upē, kas saucas par tautu
| And merge into a river called a nation
|
| Šī upe netek kā citas uz jūru
| This river does not flow to the sea like others
|
| Šī upe, tā mūsu sirds
| This river, this is our heart
|
| Viņa zied un smej
| She blooms and laughs
|
| Viņa dzied un dej
| She sings and dances
|
| Likten’s tāds man dots
| Likten's given to me like that
|
| Mīlēt to man gods
| It's my honor to love it
|
| Viņa zied un smej
| She blooms and laughs
|
| Viņa dzied un dej
| She sings and dances
|
| Viņa nāk man līdz
| She comes to me
|
| Vakars tas vai rīts | Evening or morning |
