Translation of the song lyrics Grieze - Viktors Lapčenoks, Nora Bumbiere, Stīdzinieku Ansamblis

Grieze (original)

Meitene mana grieze, griezīte
Gūstīja, veda, sauca papardēs
Sapina mani priecīgs apinis, ai apinis
Ar griezi, ar griezīti
Meitene mana grieze, griezīte
Meitenēm citām pogas izgrieza
Sapinās soļi vienā vītenī, ai vītenī
Ar griezi, ar griezīti
Meitene mana grieze, griezīte
Pateica man, ka dzirkles nesarūs
Mūžīgi laikam tādēļ dzīvošu, ai dzīvošu
Ar griezi, ar griezi, ar griezi, ar griezīti

Grieze (translation)

The girl my corncrake, the corncrake
Captured, led, called ferns
A happy hop entangles me, ai hop
With a corncrake, with a cut
The girl my corncrake, the corncrake
For girls, the other buttons were cut out
Intertwined steps in one thread, ai thread
With a corncrake, with a cut
The girl my corncrake, the corncrake
Told me that the scissors will not break
For this reason I will live forever, I will live
With corncrake, with corncrake, with corncrake, with cut
