Jazzfunk band Very Cool People surprises with a Latvian folk song

Latvia’s most active music hooligans, Very Cool People, together with the young singer Paula Saija, surprise again and release a new, completely uncharacteristic single for the band called Rikšiem (In Trot), which was inspired by a Latvian folk song.

lyrics

Rikšiem

Pa zaļāmi brukstalāmi es ar savu kumeliņu, Braucu puišus lūkotiesi, kurš ņems manu vainadziņu.
Ņem māsiņa savu roku manāi plaukstiņā,
Div’ dūjiņas gaisā skrien tālāk, kā viena meit’.

Ņemšu pajūgu, zirdziņu galā,
Negaidīšu gredzentiņu zeltneša pirkstā.
Aušu,aušu baltas kājas rakstainās zeķēs,
Mirdzēs manis vainadziņis pasakainās puķēs.

Rikšiem bērīt es palaidu. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām.
Rikšiem bērīt es palaidu. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām.

Pa zaļāmi brukstalām
Pa zaļāmi brukstalām
Pa zaļāmi brukstalām
Rikšiem, rikšiem, rikšiem

Rikšiem bērīt es palaidu. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām.
Rikšiem bērīt es palaidu. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām.
Rikšiem bērīt es palaidu. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām.
Rikšiem bērīt es palaidu. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām.

Bāliņ, manu bāleliņi, kam Tu snaudi pievārtē,
Caurumos vienos, neaizlāpītās, aizvakardienas zeķēs.
Meža māte, Vēja māte, Jūras māte, Pērkoņtēvs,
Čīkstuļiem, pīkstuļiem, veciem sīkstuļiem,
Brīnumpupas nedos.

Rikšiem bērīt es palaidu. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām.
Rikšiem bērīt es palaidu. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām.
Rikšiem bērīt es palaidu. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām.
Rikšiem bērīt es palaidu. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām. Pa zaļāmi brukstalām.
