The lyrics of the National Anthem of Latvia
Dievs, svētī Latviju!
Dievs, svētī Latviju!
Mūs’ dārgo tēviju
Svētī jel Latviju
Ak, svētī jel to!
Kur latvju meitas zied
Kur latvju dēli dzied
Laid mums tur laimē diet
Mūs’ Latvijā!
God, Bless Latvia!
God, bless Latvia!
Our beloved fatherland,
Bless Latvia,
Oh bless it, yet again!
Where Latvian daughters bloom,
Where Latvian sons sing,
Let us dance for joy there,
In our Latvia!
The National Anthem of Latvia was written and composed by Kārlis Baumanis.
The motto of Latvia: Fatherland and Freedom.
