about

bēru dziesma.

These are lyrics of an ancient Latvian folk song used in funeral rites. Not all verses are translated as the song contains archaic language and a specific poetic structure.

lyrics

Lien, pelīte, pazemē,
Apraug' manu mūža māju.

Vai rūsēja vai pelēja,
Vai skambēja staigājot.

Ne rūsēja, ne pelēja,
Skambēt skamba staigājot.

Jūdzat raudus, jūdzat bērus,
Vedam mani smilktienā.

Pāries bēri, pāries raudi,
Es mūžam nepāriešu.

Es mūžam nepāriešu,
Jūsu durvis virināt.

Dzirdu ļaudis runājami,
Manis dēļi alus dara

Ne es dzeršu, ne ēdīšu,
Es gulēšu smiltienāji.


eng.

Exequy

Come under the ground, little mouse
Come and see where I’ll dwell when I am gone.
Let it rust, let it mould
Let it crackle when you come.

Make horses ready to take me to the sand of cemetery ground.
My last journey has come and I shall never return.
I shall never return, never walk through your door.

I hear folks talking and brewing ale.
But I shall never eat, never drink
I shall forever stay lying in sand.
