National anthem of the Republic of Latvia "Dievs, svētī Latviju" / "God bless Latvia".

Latvijas Republikas himna.

Lyrics:
Dievs, svētī Latviju,
God, bless Latvia,

Mūs' dārgo tēviju,
Our dearest fatherland,

Svētī jel Latviju,
Do bless Latvia,

Ak, svētī jel to!
Oh, do bless it!

Kur latvju meitas zied,
Where Latvian daughters bloom,

Kur latvju dēli dzied,
Where Latvian sons sing,

Laid mums tur laimē diet,
Let us dance in happiness there,

Mūs' Latvijā!
In our Latvia!

  • How can I say that is a good anthem if i can't understand a single word! Please send me the translations to: ojedatavares@uol.com.br. Back I'll send the brazilian anthem, for me the most beautifull one

  • @Glaucio1978 See the video info, please. Cheers! :)

  • Vai Latvju zhiidiem ir vieta Latvijaa, jeb tikai Rumbulu in Bikernieku kapiem, kaa tas bija mana teevaa laikiem, nedz jau tiem bagaatiem ebrejam kuri is Latvijaa pashlaik...

    Dzimtene it tieshaam tikai viena...

    Tukumnieka deels, Mikhails Drabkins...

  • Es ceru, ka jā, bet grūti pateikt, neesot ebrejam...

    Visu labu

  • Skaista. Jums jābūt lepna būt Latvijas! (Google translation ok?)

  • God Bless Latvia is one of the most beautifully harmonic pieces of music I have ever heard in my life. The chord structure alone is what makes this piece so wonderful to listen to. The other nice thing about your national anthem is that 50k+ people can sing this and bring out the true harmonic beauty that this song has to offer and in key as well. Thank you.

  • Visi Latvieši kopā ir neidomājams spēks.

  • As a 2nd generation Australian Latvija, that brought tears to my eyes! Paldies!

  • @JayMastaB My intention was just calling the attention to the possible problems that nationalism can bring. Any event that leads to extreme nationalism, like the cult of music, can repeat past mistakes, remembering the Nazi anthems. This is my world. What about yours?

  • @Glaucio1978 What on earth are you on about... This is just a tribute to the country, it's not like it's some extreme nationalist content in it. What should a national anthem be about in your opinion?

  • @JuhaStump Your comment started and ended so well, but with an epic fail in the middle. The fact that the word God is in the lyrics has no impact on how the anthem sounds. Furthermore, I believe you had no idea that the word 'Dievs' means 'God', did it immediately become more beautiful to you? I wish Latvia a happy birthday with as little medieval superstition sprinkled in as possible!

  • Dievs Sveti Latviju!

  • kur domnus

  • GOD BLESS LATVIA)
