Skyforger – Virsaitis Nameisis lyrics

Virsaitis Nameisis

[Music by Peter, Edgar & Rihard]

Es saucu jus brali uz karu
Uz zemi kur kristgie mit
Lepnie zemgales deli
Es saucu jus zobenus trit

Nav miera vairs musu zeme
Kops viestards ir aizgajis velos
Bet krusta prieksa nekad
Zemgali nekritis celos!

Sargieties kristgie
Nameisis ir mans vards
Drebiet bailes to dzirdot
Es naku psa velina aicinats

Mans kumels skrien atrak ka ziemelu vejs
Kara cirvis atputu nepazist
Es savu uzvaras dziesmu dziedu tur
Kur manu maidnieku asinis list

Un zemgali kopa ar leisiem
Cauri prusu zemem tad trauc
Visniknak cert krustnesus nameisis
Lidzi savus virus vins sauc:

"Nu eita virsu kristigiem
Jus mani lepnie varoni!"

No 'Atskanu Hronikas"

x Chief Nameisis x
The man who devoted all his life to the bitter fight
against uninvited cross-marked invaders.
His name is Nameisis and he was the last
Semigallian chief named in ancient chronicles.
