3. FOLK SONGS
 Galdam kājas nolīkušas,
Kas tās līkas nolocīja?
To darīja tīra maize,
Mans brūvēts alutiņš.
 Dod, māmiņa, azaidiņu,
Negribēšu launadziņu;
Dod, māmiņa, launadziņu,
Negribēšu vakariņas;
Dod, māmiņa, vakariņas,
Negulēšu neēdusi.
The table legs fell down,
and what laid it down?
It was done by bread
And my brewed beer.
Give me mummy, breakfast,
I would not want lunch
Give me mummy, lunch,
I'm not going to have dinner;
Give me mummy, dinner,
Or I would not be able to sleep
