About the Latvian Folk Song Translation Project:

For the purposes of this project, the term “Latvian folk songs” mainly encompasses short, typically four-line song poems describing aspects of daily life in historical Latvia.

In the past, Latvian folk songs have been documented or compiled in various books that treat them as written works, without an accompanying melody. Therefore they are treated here as poetry, rather than music.

The Folk Song Translation Project mainly focuses on these written works as a window on Latvian history and culture, and as a teaching tool for readers interested in Latvian language and the art of translation.
