Translation of the song Ardievu meitenes artist BrainStorm

Ardievu, meitenes, man jādodas,

Goodbye girls, I have to go,

Kur kaujas lauki baltos kaulos lās,

Where battlefields glow in white bones,

Tur arī man būs galva jānoliek,

There I will have to lay my head, too

Šīs zemes vareniem lai prieciņš tiek.

So that the mighty get a little joy.

Ardievu, meitenes, mans ķeizars mani sauc,

Goodbye girls, my kaiser is calling me,

Šai karā tiešām varoņu būs daudz.

There will be many heroes in this war, for sure.

Un pašiem pirmajiem, ko lodes sadragās,

And the very first that bullets will shatter,

Būs rezervēta vieta skolu programmās.

Will have a reserved place in school curriculum.

Piedz.

Chorus

Ardievu, meitenes, jūs tagad redzat,

Goodbye girls, you see now

Jūs tagad redzat, varoņi kā rodas.

You see now how heroes are made

O, meitenes, jel piedodiet,

Oh, girls, please forgive

Man tagad ķeizaram ir jāatdodas,

I have to give myself to the kaiser

Man tagad ķeizaram ir jāatdodas.

I have to give myself to the kaiser

Ja mani kaujā smagi ievainos,

If I'll be gravely wounded in battle

Tad zinu – ķeizars ordeni man dos,

Then I know - kaiser will give me a medal

Un var jau būt pat pieminekli cels

And maybe make a monument to me

Un kalna galā klintsakmeni vels.

And a cliff rock will push on the top of the mountain

Bet ja man tiešām veiksme uzsmaidīs,

But if luck will really smile upon me

Un oberleitnants mīnulaukā dzīs,

And oberleutnant will send me into the mine field

Tad foto mans un arīdzan mans vārds

Then my photo and my name

Tiks melnā rāmī presē nodrukāts.

Will be printed in the press with a black frame
