Ciirulis un Puuciite

Cīruli, cīruli
Cīruli, cīruli, kad ņemsi sievu?
Rudeni, rudeni ap miežu laiku
Cīrulis salūdza visādus viesus
Pūcīte atnāca neaicināta
Cīrulis paņēma pūcīti dancot
Pūcīte nomina cīrulim kāju
Cīrulis aizveda pūcīt' uz tiesu
Pūcītei nosprieda piecpadsmit dabūt
Kam nāca kāzās neaicināta.
Latviešu tautas dziesma.
When is the lark going to get married?
In the autumn, at harvest time.
The lark invited all sorts of guests,
But the owl came uninvited.
The lark invited the owl to dance,
And the owl stepped on the lark's foot.
The lark took the owl to court,
Where the owl was sentenced to fifteen years
For going to the wedding uninvited.
(Latvian folk song)
Recorded and animated by children folk group "Tarkšķi" from Iecava, Latvia. Leader Kristīne Karele.
