Zviegtin' zviedza kara zirgi
Karavīrus gaidīdami
Karavīri zobentiņus
Uz akmeņa tecināj'
Iztrinuši zobentiņus
Krustām lika zvērēdami
Labāk manu galvu ņēma
Nekā manu tēvu zemi
Es jums saku, sveši ļaudis
Šai zemē nenāciet
Dzied man zelta lakstīgala
Zobentiņa galiņā

Neighed the battle horses
Waiting for the warriors
The warriors' swords
Were sharpened on stone
When the swords were sharpened
They were crossed with an oath:
"I would gladly give my head
To save the land of our fathers"
I say to you, strangers
Don't come into this land
Sings the golden nightingale
On the tip of my sword
