Riga! Ligo! Holiday!
(музыка и текст: Гарри Польский)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey, dear friend,
Do you know my country?
It’s made of pine trees
Of blue blue sky, of blue blue lakes
Of amber beads
And folk dance beats.

But our brand
Is the summer solstice
Cheerful old feast,
That is very popular
In our climes
Since ancient times. 

Now you know why go to Riga
On the year’s shortest night:
We will sing and dance on Ligo
Until bonfires will be bright!
All night!
-------------------------------

Hey, dear friends
Let’s forget about this
Financial crisis
Wear fancy dresses,
Wear oak leaf wreaths, 
Eat Ligo cheese!

Friend, take my hand:
We’ll jump over the fire
Higher and higher!
If you fall down you’ll smell tasty
As a shashlik,
But it’s a cool trick!

Now you know why go to Riga
On the year’s shortest night:
You will find your love on Ligo
Until fern flowers will be bright!

-------------------
Not all roads lead to Rome:
Our small country has own brand!
If someone asks: ”Where are you from?
I answer in jest: ’’Ligoland’’.

Hey, amigo, [bad word] to Riga!
Summer is the time for Ligo!
Riga, Ligo! Ligo, Riga!
Ligo, holiday!
--------------------------------------------------
 [bad word] to [bad word] [bad word] to us! [bad word] from the North, [bad word] from the South!
On foot, by horse,
By bus, by train,
 [bad word] to us!
Never mind the rain! 
Never mind the rain!
Never mind the rain!
---------------------------------------------------

Hey, dear friend,
Do you know who I am?
I’m a treeman,
I’m the real Ghost of Ligo — 
Singing Oak!
Don’t think I joke.

Mein lieber freund, 
Komm zu mir in Lettland! 
Das ist nicht Lappland! 
We will show you magic 
But in Baltic style: 
So crazy and wild! 
----------------
Now you know why go to Riga
On the year’s shortest night:
You will find new friends on Ligo
And your impressions will be bright!

Not all roads lead to Rome:
Our small country has own brand!
If someone asks: ”Where are you from?
I answer in jest: ’’Ligoland’’.

Hey, amigo, [bad word] to Riga!
Summer is the time for Ligo!
Riga, Ligo! Ligo, Riga!
Ligo, holiday!
