Braši puiši, daiļas mečas, Grieza danci sev un mums par prieku. Nekas nav skaistāks par jaunatni, kura dejo un dzied savas tautas dziesmas!!! Paldies, Arti, tev un mūzikas grupai „Folkvakars" .
Toli dzeivoj muna meilo, Es nevaru sazatikt Toli dzeivoj muna meilo, Es nevaru sazatikt. Far away lived my wife Cannot reach her jimšu stallī siermu zyrgu jōšu mīlōs apsavārtu I’ll take a grey horse Travel to visit my relatives da pusceļa nadajōju, nūsazvīdze kumeleņš Wasn’t even half way Horse purred at me (made noise to go back) pi vōrtimi napījōju, iztak mīlō raudōdama Wasn’t even at the gates See my love crying vīnu rūku vōrtus vēre ūtru slauka asareņas With one hand opening the gates With other one wiping tears naraud gauži muna meilō es jau tevis nepamesšu Don’t cry my heart I won’t leave you es jau tevis nepamesšu myužam cytas namīļošu I won’t leave you I’ll never love another one
There are no Slavs here. The Latgalian language is a language of the Baltic group. Latvian, Lithuanian and Prussian. Latvians are genetically closest to Livs (Finno-Ugrian group).
There is a relationship with the Slavs. The Balto-Slavic language group proves this. Some Latvians have a prejudice against the Slavs unfortunately and get upset when the relationship is made. There are many similarities between Latvian and Russian words. For example the word for snow in Latvians is sniegs, in Russian “snig”, fire in Latvian is “uguns” in Russian is “ogoni”, lake in Latvia is “ezers”, in Russian is “ozoro”, arm in Latvian is “roka” in Russian is “ruk”,etc. These are obviously not loan words.
