Song by Raimonds Tiguls

Recording from  XXVII Nationwide Latvian Song and XVII Dance Festival
The XXVII Nationwide Latvian Song and XVII Dance Festival, which marks the 150th year of the Song Festival tradition, will take place in Riga from the 30th June to the 9th July, 2023.
The Song and Dance Festival will take place throughout the territory of Riga. Special set designs will transform the event spaces; suitable stages will be built; big screens will be dotted throughout the city; spaces will be landscaped to allow visitors to enjoy the Festival in full. The main choir and dance events will take place in their historic Festival locations: the Silver Grove stage at Mežaparks and Daugava Stadium. Both locations have been renovated for the audiences and participants of the 2023 Song and Dance Festival.

Lyrics 

I am the womb of the earthEs esmu zemes klēpisYou are my sunTu mana sauleThe same thunder decidedTā pats pērkons lēmisThe stream of fateLikteņupes straumeTeach me a clear mindMāci man skaidru prātuTeach the power of the earthMāci zemes spēkuAs Lyma herself saidKā pati Laima likaTinot the article of a lifetimeTinot mūža rakstu
Rise, dear sun, shine brightly!Lec, saulīte, spīdi spoži!Decorates the vineyard, decorates the homesteadRotā druvu, rotā sētuRise, dear sun, break the darkness!
Lec, saulīte, tumsu šķeeeel!Make our land holyDari mūsu zemi svētu
I am the vault of heavenEs esmu debess velveYou are my sunTu mana sauleThe same thunder decidedTā pats pērkons lēmisThe stream of fateLikteņupes straumeTeach me peace of mindMāci man dvēseles mieruTeach the power of heavenMāci debess spēkuAs Lyma herself saidKā pati Laima likaTinot the article of a lifetimeTinot mūža rakstu
Rise, dear sun, shine brightly!
Lec, saulīte, spīdi spoži!Decorates the vineyard, decorates the homesteadRotā druvu, rotā sētuRise, dear sun, break the darkness!
Lec, saulīte, tumsu šķeeeel!Make our land holyDari mūsu zemi svētu
Rise, dear sun, shine brightly!
Lec, saulīte, spīdi spoži!Decorate the boy, decorate the daughterRotā puisi, rotā meituRise, dear sun, break the darkness!
Lec, saulīte, tumsu šķeeeel!Unite the entire Latvian nation!Vieno visu latvju tautu!
Rise, dear sun, shine brightly!
Lec, saulīte, spīdi spoži!Decorate the boy, decorate the daughterRotā puisi, rotā meituRise, dear sun, break the darkness!
Lec, saulīte, tumsu šķeeeel!Unite the entire Latvian nation!Vieno visu latvju tautu!
