| Balts sniedziņš snieg uz skujiņām
| White snowshoe on the needles
|
| Un maigi dziedot pulksten’s skan;
| And the gentle singing of the clock’s sounds;
|
| Mirdz šur tur ciemos ugunis
| Lights shine here and there
|
| Un sirds tā laimīgi pukst man
| And my heart beats happily for me
|
| Man ir, it kā kad paceltos
| I feel like I'm getting up
|
| Gars augstumos, kur debess telts
| Spirit in the heights where the heavenly tent
|
| Ir pulcējusi eņģeļus
| Has gathered angels
|
| Kur āres spīd kā spožais zelts
| Where the outside shines like shiny gold
|
| Es saprotu, es sajūtu
| I understand, I feel
|
| Ka šeit uz zemes spodrība
| That here on earth shine
|
| Tas augstākais, ko mums var dot
| That's the highest you can give us
|
| Un skaidram būt ir godība
| And to be clear is the glory
|
| Ai, māmiņa, tik laba tu
| Oh, Mom, so good you
|
| Tu mani baltu mazgāji
| You washed me white
|
| No acīm skūpstot asaras
| Tears kissing from her eyes
|
| Man svētku drānas uztērpi
| I have festive clothes
|
| Ai, māmiņa, vai mūžīgi
| Oh, Mommy, or forever
|
| Es varēšu tāds skaidrs būt
| I will be able to be so clear
|
| Jeb vai būs likten’s nolēmis
| Or will fate’s be decided
|
| Man citādam virs zemes kļūt?
| Should I become different on earth?
|
| Balts sniedziņš snieg uz skujiņām
| White snowshoe on the needles
|
| Un maigi dziedot pulksten’s skan;
| And the gentle singing of the clock’s sounds;
|
| Mirdz šur tur ciemos ugunis
| Lights shine here and there
|
| Un sirds pukst aplaimota man | And the heart beats blessed me |
