KAS TIE TADI
SKU: AN.AMP-0087
Arranged by Steven Sametz. Octavo. Alliance Music Publications #AMP 0087. Published by Alliance Music Publications (AN.AMP-0087).Sametz.
For much of its history , Latvia has been a country occupied by a foreignpower. Kas tie tadi is a poignant song of the people which reflects their feeling of being orphaned in their own land.
I am indebted to Dennis Mickiewicz for introducing me to Kas tie tadi and for the harmonic outline of the first two verses.
| Kas tie tadi kas dziedaja, Bez saulites vakara? Tie ir visi bara berni Bargu kungu klausitaj. | Who are they who weep at sunset? They are orphans, subject to a cruel master. | ||
| Kurin ugun silda gaisu Slauka gauzas asaras, Krimta cietu pelavmaizi Avotina mercedam. | So dry the tear, dip the crust of bread and huddle closer to the fire. | ||
| Saulit lasa uziekdama Zelta rasas lasites: Ta nebija zelta rasa, Tas barinu asarin's. | The little sun gathers rising golden dewdrops. That was not golden dew: those were little orphan's tears |
