TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS: Being shot at, lunged at, I'm not grumbling... The things you're shooting shall blow out, The things you're lunging at me shall break! Dear Daugava river is flowing fast - Not to be held back, By pulling a grean thread I've held it back A golden sash tree times - Around the thick oak tree. The lead bullet is not soaring for him, Neither is the steel sword. All forests are on fire All roads are locked With dear god's help I want to go through it all DZIESMAS VĀRDI Šāva mani, dūra mani, Es nenieka nebēdaju, Izput tavi šāvumiņi, Nolūzt tavi duramie. Strauja teka Daugaviņa, Ka nevaru noturēt. Stiepu zaļu dzīpariņu, Noturēju Daugaviņ Trīs kārtāmi zelta josta, Ap resnoji ozloliņ. Ne tam līda svina lodes, Ne tērauda zobentiņš. Visi meži guni dega Visi ceļi atslēgām. Ar Dieviņa palīdzību, Visam gribu cauri tikt
