Cīruliņ, Mazputniņ (original)

Cīruliņ, mazputniņ, ko redzēji debesīs?
Cīruliņ, mazputniņ, ko redzēji debesīs?
Redzēj' pili nodegam, redzēj' jaunu uzceļam
Redzēj' pili nodegam, redzēj' jaunu uzceļam
Cīruliņ, mazputniņ, kas dziedāja debesīs?
Cīruliņ, mazputniņ, kas dziedāja debesīs?
Dziedāj' ļaudis dedzinām, dziedāj' citi uzceļam
Cīruliņ, mazputniņ, kas raudāja debesīs?
Cīruliņ, mazputniņ, kas raudāja debesīs?
Raudāj' ļaudis dedzinām, raudāj' citi uzceļam
Raudāj' ļaudis dedzinām, raudāj' citi uzceļam
Cīruliņ, mazputniņ, vai tu biji debesīs?
Cīruliņ, mazputniņ, vai tu biji debesīs?
Tas nav stiebriņš apsarmots, tas — dieviņa sirmais mats
Tas nav stiebriņš apsarmots, tas — dieviņa sirmais mats
Redzēj' pili nodegam, redzēj' jaunu uzceļam
Redzēj' pili nodegam, redzēj' jaunu uzceļam

Cīruliņ, Mazputniņ (translation)

Lapwink, little bird, what did you see in the sky?
Lapwink, little bird, what did you see in the sky?
We saw the castle burning down, we saw a new one being built
We saw the castle burning down, we saw a new one being built
A lark, a little bird that sang in the sky?
A lark, a little bird that sang in the sky?
Sing 'we burn people, sing' others build
A lark, a little bird, crying in the sky?
A lark, a little bird, crying in the sky?
Weep, we burn, weep others
Weep, we burn, weep others
Lapwing, little bird, have you been to heaven?
Lapwing, little bird, have you been to heaven?
It is not a stalk frosted, it is the gray hair of the god
It is not a stalk frosted, it is the gray hair of the god
We saw the castle burning down, we saw a new one being built
We saw the castle burning down, we saw a new one being built
