We live in Latvia And we are so glad That we have Such a beautiful land. With so many woods And so many lakes With beautiful rivers And very green plains. And there is the sea Where the sun sets each day And on the beach We like to play. We are so happy We are so glad Because Latvia is Our Motherland
