Krog-meitas dziesma no Latviešu spēlfilmas Vella kalpi (1970)
Krogus meiča
Ja bēdas nomāc garu,
Ja pazudis ir prieks,
Šai krogū jaukus vārdus
Tev krogus meita sniegs.
Tā tavu kausu pildīs
Ar saldo miestiņu,
Un tavu sirdi sildīs
Ar mīļu skatienu.
Ja bēdas nomāc garu,
Ja pazudis ir prieks,
Tad daiļā krogus meiča
Šeit lielu kausu tev sniegs.

This was at my house, when I was hosting one Latvian Folk group.. we were talking and having fun.. of course that also singing..
As the Latvians say:
“Dzimu dziedot, uzaugu dziedot, visu mūžu dziedot nodzīvoju. Pat nāvi satiku dziedot!”
ES IZJĀJU PRŪŠU ZEMI
Es izjāju Prūšu zemi
Koklēdamis, spēlēdamis.
Prūšu meitas man’ gribēja
Par junkuru paturēt.
Nepalikšu, prūšu meitas,
Man pašami Kurzemē,
Man pašami Kurzemē
Sētā jauna līgaviņa.
Nu, ar Dievu, prūšu meitas,
Nu es braucu uz Kurzemi,
Nu es braucu uz Kurzemi
Pats pie savas līgaviņas.
Pats pie savas līgaviņas
Pats ar savu eliņu,
Pats ar savu eliņu
Pats pie savas līgaviņas.

Skyforger’s popularity and recognition continue to grow, and their Pagan/Folk Metal style continues to develop. They are a rarity in that they present proud, nationalistic music without any political leanings; and their passion for the land of their fathers can be heard like the surging of the tide, underpinning the warships of their songs. There is no doubt that they will continue to guard the flame of Heathen spirit in Baltic Europe, passing on their ancestors’ mythology and deeds of combat that will forever be remembered in the hearts and minds of the people of Latvia. The banner adorned by Perkons sign is still flying……Superb Historical Pagan Folk Metal from Latvia
