Tautumeitas - Pāde (Official Music Video)

[@madphys]

A VERY crude translation (explanation) of lyrics for those interested. A brief foreword... In Latvian culture major events in one's life were celebrated, marked by "honors". The first such honor for a young child - baby even, is when he is given his name, becomes admitted into the family and acquires godparents. "Pāde" in this case means a child to be named. So the guests are invited to this event, among which obviously are also godparents (kūmas). In general this ritual is meant to bring blessing to a child and ensure a fruitful and happy life. The ideology basically is - If we do A, B, C, then it will bring X, Y, Z to the child. For example, if the godmother wears multiple layers of lush clothing, it would symbolize that the child will grow strongly and won't be bothered by illness. So when all the ritual procedures are done (among which preparation for this event is also of high importance) and all the goods and blessings brought to the child by the invited guests, then the finalizing part of the ritual is swinging/rocking of the baby (Pādes dīdīšana). The idea behind this, is that rocking/swinging will equally distribute all the "goodies" throughout the child's life (so that there are no "bad-times"). The song itself is a folk-song and the lyrics go approximately (I will try just to convey meaning): Godchild is great, godchild is small Whether great or small - I won't drop him Throw, throw, required, required, (this is like addressing others, supposedly guests of this ritual) It is required to buy a foal for a godchild When becoming a godmother (going to the said ritual), I dressed lushly So that my godchild grows lushly (strong) Where is my silver charm-belt (This is not precise, but gives you idea of how "zvārdzeņu josta" approximately could look - a familiar term, so to speak) So it would jingle, while I dance (rock) the godchild. *A note - there are many words for the rocking procedure of - among which is also "dancināšana", which directly translates as dancing but obviously a baby cannot dance by itself, nevertheless, a godmother can dance while carrying the baby. Don't sit at (this ritual procedure) like a boleus (mushroom) in birch grove Take your godchild - and whirl in dance with her With the Sun, towards the Sun I rock the godchild, So that the godchild becomes great - while my head starts to go around (basically onset of vertigo) Peep, "skauģi" (an envy person) through an opening in the fence, An envy person will become hit by a stone, while I have my godchild in my hands The end,

[@sanjuro66]

To be honest, initially I was only attracted to the visual aspect of this song. I really didn't warm-up to the music on the first "go around". As time went on, I started to notice the instrumentation intricacies, and started to REALLY get into the rhythm and cool Latvian linguistics of the song.I especially like the almost eerie harpsichord-sounding instrument in the middle and the end. Now, i'm hooked on this video, and have probably watched it 1000 times. LOL. I think i'm under a spell. ;)

[@gajossx1188]

Soooo..... would anyone provide any - even unprofessional - translation?

[@NGC1433]

I bet it wouldn't do Shakespeare any better. This is not sung in any particular language. A mix of archaic dialects reinterpreted and adapted to be at least somewhat understandable by modern native speakers. It's worse than weirdest English dialects. Mangled words and completely different meaning based on context.

All of their videos strike me as ancient rituals that men are not supposed to be privy to....this one the most.....I’m not sure if I should see this, but am enthralled nonetheless.

[@mazamorra5035]

They are rituals, at least this one is. This one is something like Christian baptism. Of course, it is more ancient. "Pādīte", ""Pāde" - it is a child getting (and afterwards having) guardians (in this case some of them may be long dead) - the child joins the family tree. The last verse: "Veries, skauģīt(i), caur žoga posmu/ Skauģim akmens, man pāde rokā" means, translated loosely, "Peep all you want, envier. You'll get a stone in your eye, because my "Pāde" is mine."

mazamorra5035 I have to say it kind of freaks me out that what I “felt” was so close to what was going on. Thanks for the explanation.

[@gunca5414]

song lyrics Pētīte high, pecky magician, To be good, to magic, in the land of nations. Metat, Metat, Need, Need ', Wow to buy a foal for a foal. Dressing up in stumps Let my pail grow up. Where's my silver cob To crouch the dancing dancing. Do not sit in the beaker as a bean grinder Take your hack roller diet. With sun, sunbathing, A great puppy, a head throat. Veries, the goblin, through the fence, For the stone, the stone, I have a hand in hand.

[@kibrika]

The lyrics have to do with baby naming rituals. But they don't make easy sense. There are quite a few old terms, and I for one, don't know the particular traditions. But the main subject "pāde" means the baby-to-be-named.
