- Rīga dimd, Rīga dimd!
- Kas to Rīgu dimdināj'?
- Aijaijā Tralalā
- Kas to Rīgu dimdināj'?
-
- Tai meitai pūru kala
- Kam trejādi bāleliņ'
- Aijaijā Tralalā
- Kam trejādi bāleliņ', bāleliņ'
-
- Tēva brālis pūru kala
- Mātes brālis atslēdziņ'
- Aijaijā Tralalā
- Mātes brālis atslēdziņ'
-
- Viņas pašas īstais brālis
- Zelta vāku liedināj'
- Aijaijā Tralalā
- Zelta vāku liedināj'

- Riga resounds, Riga resounds
- Who made Riga so resound?
- Aijaijā Tralalā
- Who made Riga so resound?
-
- Those forging a dowry for that maiden
- The one with three ilk of brothers
- Aijaijā Tralalā
- The one with three ilk of brothers
-
- Brother to her father forged the dowry
- Brother to her mother forged the key
- Aijaijā Tralalā
- Brother to her mother forged the key
-
- True brother to herself
- Cast its lid of gold
- Aijaijā Tralalā
- Cast its lid of gold
