i shot some walking stuff outside today, but watching it made me nauseous, so here is this instead.

a latvian folk song.
about the wind personified.

(i usually don't sing the low part, and obviously it sounds nicer with two people singing it at the same time...but i haven't practiced with my sister in ages.)

enjoy.

Bellowing Mother Wind
Become milder at night (mitigate yourself?)

You have become tired
Bending the ends of the forest

Bending the ends of the forest
Rolling the waves of the sea

The winds of the sea hissed heavily
Dear mother cried her eyes out

A cherished soul
rocking on the water

Aurēdama, Vēja māte,
Remdējiesa vakarāja.

Gana biji piekususi,
Meža galus locīdama.

Meža galus locīdama,
Jūras viļņus bangodama.

Smagi šņāca jūras vēji,
Gauži rauda māmuliņa.

Izlolota dvēselīte
Uz ūdeņa līgojāsi.
