Lithuanian song - Ant kalno mūrai

[noise-cuisine]

Edit: Huge appologies - the song is from Lithuania, not Latvia! Oh my god, shame on me....

Hey Forum,

can anyone help me on a translation for this song? Knowing that Latvian might not be the most widespread language... It is pretty urgent.

I have some kind of translation, though it does not make a lot of sense to me. Is there a lot of symbolism hidden in this son, and if so, can anyone tell me what the song's message is..?


Ant kalno mūrai -
Joja lietuviai.
Joja, joja lietuvaičiai,
Neša, neša vainikaitį,
Vainiką rūtų,
Vainiką rūtų!

Štai ir prijojo
Uošvės dvarelį.
- Kelkis, kelkis, mergužėle,
Balta graži lelijėle,
Žirgelių girdyt,
Žirgelių girdyt.

Dar nesikelsiu,
Dar ne dienelė!
Man močiutė taip prisakė,
Su berneliais nekalbėti -
Močiutės klausau,
Širdelės klausau.




Thanks hugely in advance

Yes, it is Lithuanian

There are walls over the hill.
Lithuanians are riding.
Lithuanian young men come riding
And bringing a wreath.
A wreath of rue,
A wreath of rue.

And now they came riding
To the mother's-in-low manor.
- Wake up, wake up, damsel,
You white beautiful lily,
Water the horses.
Water the horses.

I shall not wake up,
The day haven't began yet.
My mother said me that:
Don't speak with young men.
I obey my mother,
I listen to my heart.

Thanks Target!

Indeed, we don't have many people from Lithuania here in Forums, so your translation is appreciated.
