Does anyone know of a translation? Guypersonson 01:58, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- I found Latvian lyrics and translated those, but I was pretty sure that Livonian lyrics have slightly different meaning. Out of curriosity I tried to dechiper it. As it seems that tere is no other english translation available on the web, I'm going to add what I managed to unpuzzle, translating Latvian lyrics in spots were I couldn't find translation for Livonian word. Here is list of all words used in the song (in bold) and ideas on what they mean (blank space=no idea), feel free to add to this list if you know the meaning of some word.
