Текст песни Northen Lights (State Choir Latvia) с переводом

Cik naksnīnas pret ziemeli redzēj' kāvus karojam

Ē, redzēj' kāvus karojam;

Karo kāvi pie debesu, vedīs karus mūs' zemē;

Ē, vedīs karus mūs' zemē

(How many nights against the North wind

I saw the Northern Lights fighting;

Fighting in the sky, the Northern Lights

Bring wars to our land.)

It was night, and I had gone on deck several times

Iceberg was silent; I too was silent

It was true dark and cold

At nine o’clock I was below in my cabin

When the captain hailed me with the words:

«Come above, Hall, at once! The world is on fire!»

I knew his meaning, and, quick as thought

I rushed to the companion stairs

In a moment I reached the deck

And as the cabin door swung open

A dazzling light, overpow’ring light burst upon my startled senses!

Oh, the whole sky was one glowing mass of colored flames, so mighty, so brave!

Like a pathway of light the northern lights seemed to draw us into the sky

Yes, it was harp-music, wild storming in the darkness;

The strings trembled and sparkled in the glow of the flames

Like a shower of fiery darts

A fiery crown of auroral light cast a warm glow across the arctic ice

Again at times it was like softly playing, gently rocking silvery waves

On which dreams travel into unknown worlds
