I went into the yard,
Into my father's yard, lielio,
Into my father's, my father's yard.

I went into the yard,
Scared the geese,

Scared the geese,
Gathered feathers,

Gathered feathers,
Put them in a basket,

Put them in a basket,
Took it home,

Took it home,
Stuffed them into a blanket,

Stuffed them into a blanket,
Embroidered it with a red thread

Embroidered it this way with a red thread,
Embroidered it that way with a golden thread

Embroidered it with a golden thread,
Put the blanket in a cradle,

Put a child in the cradle,
Rocked the cradle,

Rocked the cradle,
Sung a song,

Sung a song,
Told a tale,

Told a tale,
The birch heard it,

The birch heard it
And told it to the brook,

Told it to the brook,
And the brook ran off.

The brook told the sun the tale,
The brook sang the sun the song,

The brook sang the sun the song,
The sun got bright,

The sun got bright,
And sung the song to the robin,

Sung the song to the robin,
And the dear robin flew off,

The dear robin flew off
And sat on a tree and sang,

Sat on a tree and sang,
And on the tree was a plum,

On the tree was a plum,
On the tree was a pear,

On the tree was a pear,
In the pear was a seed,

In the pear was a seed,
A silver ring.
