CD 1
Saules meita sagšas raksta
Vizi vizi ezerin,i
Leni leni Dievinš brauca
Es atradu vien' pupin,u
Pilna se-ta vi-tolin,u
Es apsedzu sav' galdin,u
Ai sauli-te me-nestin,š
Dzi-diti mo-sen,as
Kad man beja bolta puc(e
Baltaitin,a ju-ru brida
Mans ba-lin,is kara- ja-ja
Saule brida migla-jos
Trim ka-rta-m zelta josla
Visa zemes za-le zied
Viena saule viena zeme
Divi divi me-s ma-sin,as
Ar laivin,u ielaidos
Vai bu-s laime vai nelaime
Šk,ir Dievin,i lietus gaisu
CD 2
Ra-mi ra-mi
Nerejati ciema suni
Krustimi dejama
Kas to teica
Kam tie tadi kumelini
Sveša mote mani sauce
Treis mosenas
Ozols auga jurmala
Kokles variacijas
Situ koku
Skaista mana brala seta
Kukleties kukleja
Zidi zidi
Stadiju ievinu

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
