The Declaration "On the Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia"] (Deklarācija par Latvijas Republikas neatkarības atjaunošanu) was adopted on 4 May 1990, by the Supreme Soviet of the Latvian SSR. The Declaration stated that, although Latvia had de facto lost its independence in 1940, when it was annexed by the Soviet Union, the country had de jure remained a sovereign country as the annexation had been unconstitutional and against the will of the people of Latvia.
A war song in latvian:
Zviegtin' zviedza kara zirgi
Karavīrus gaidīdam'
Karavīri zobentiņus
Uz akmeņa tecināj'
Iztrinuši zobentiņus
Krustām lika zvērēdam'
Labāk manu galvu ņēma
Nekā manu tēvu zem'
