2 | Dižie Ziemassvētki | 2 | Christmas Has Arrived |
Dandigi dandan digidigidiri dandan... Ziemassvētki sabraukuši, Rakstītām kamanām. Eita, bērni, saņemat Ziemassvētku kumeliņu. | Dandigi dandan digidigidiri dandan...** Christmas has arrived In a decorated sleigh. Children, come and welcome The fine horses of Christmas. |
Līdz zemīti krēpes vilka, Ledainām kājiņām. Eita, bērni, saņemat Ziemassvētku kumeliņu. | His mane trails along the ground, His feet are icy. Children, come and welcome The fine horses of Christmas. |
Ai, bagāti Ziemassvētki No Rīgas nāca; Trīs simti sulaiņi Bruņoti līdz. | Such a prosperous Christmas Coming all the way from Rīga, With three hundred footmen, All armed, in tow. |
Nebada ķekatas Gaļas labad lēca. | It's not just for meat That the mummers dance. |
** untranslatable refrain |
