(ENG)
God bless Latvia,
Our cherished fatherland,
Bless Latvia,
Oh bless it, dear God!
Where Latvian daughters bloom,
Where Latvian sons sing,
Let us dance happily there,
In our Latvia!

Beyond hills, beyond valleys,
Beyond seas, expansive plains,
Will be a place for our homeland
To exist together!

You will be beautiful and free,
Forever united,
Where the Latvian nation dwells,
Where the Latvian language sounds.

You are dear to my heart,
Latvia, forever to live in you,
Forever in your blessing,
Forever in your happiness.

(LAT)
Dievs, svētī Latviju,
Mūs' dārgo tēviju,
Svētī jel Latviju,
Ak, svētī jel to!
Kur latvju meitas zied,
Kur latvju dēli dzied,
Laid mums tur laimē diet,
Mūs' Latvijā!

Aiz kalniem, laukiem,
Aiz jūriem, pļavām blāvām,
Mūsu tēvzemei būs
Vieta sadzīvot!

Tu daiļā, brīvā būsi,
Vienmēr vienota,
Kur latvju tauta mīt,
Kur latvju valoda.

Tev dārgā ir man sirds,
Latvija, mūž' tevī dzīvot,
Mūž' tava svētībā,
Mūž' tava laimē.
