Tik Kreiso - Anthem of the 15th Division (1st Latvian)

"So turn left, to the left, let your eyes shine with courage"
The Latvian Legion was active during World War II. Made of mostly Latvians, they fought bravely for their homeland against the expansion of communism
--Lyrics:
Latvju zēni soļo vācu pilsētās
Meičas viņus vēro, ielās gājušas
Braša tiem ir gaita, galvu augstu nes
Stingra tiem ir stāja, mirdz tiem šautenes
Tik kreiso, tik kreiso
Lai solis tev ir brašs
Uz priekšu trauc
Mūs cīņā sauc.
Un tādēļ-kreiso, tik kreiso
Lai acis droši mirdz
Mums pieredzēt vēl daudz
Zēniem kara ceļos mīļi smaida tās
Aicina tos dejot vēlu vakarā
Mīļi vārdi, smaidi zēnus vilina
Vairāk nekā vārdi acis apsola
Bet, kad jau sāp kājas, nejautā, kas kaiš
Ejam kad uz mājām, atspīd mēness gaišs
Grētel, mana Grētel, Grētel skaistākā
Mīlulīt, pie tevis iešu vakarā
Bet pēc dažām dienām mums ir jāšķiras
Gan jau "kara skādi" cits kāds samaksās
Grētel, mana Grētel, Grētel skaistākā
Grētel, mana Grētel, dzīvo vesela !

Note, I dont speak Latvian so some of the translations may be off, if you speak it, help with translating would be much appreciated

[@markuss9810]

Thanks for the video, I think that "So turn left, to the left..." should just be replaced be with "Left left...," as it is just used as filler for marching, instead of being a turning indicator.

[@anter11]

Thanks ! I was wondering how to best write that line

[@smb6995]

I agree, I just want to add that "left" is not just filler for marching, it means you should step with your left foot on that note so that everyone is marching synchronised

[@ayago9474]

they truly have always been our greatest ally against the russian menace!

[@zcytrox]

Yeah but the French SS Division Charlemagne were one of the last defenders of Berlin.

[@cakecwkecake7479]

morally yes. the allies didn't classify them as hostile soldiers since the vast majority were conscripts and were only interesting in fighting the soviets and germans lol

[@crypt1c_865]

​@@zcytroxLatvians were in Berlin as well, and other foreigners such as the Flemish, Walloons, Spaniards etc

[@Crimson19977]

As Latvian, I’ve heard this as well but we wouldn’t be able to fight that well without the Germans sponsoring us, since the Soviet’s robbed us economically and of our own armies so all glory to Germans!

I think they mean they will blame it on the russians or Germans

[@ritvarsklavins2124]

i think its just translated a bit incorrectly, i think ''kara skāde'' means the overall destruction of war, not necacary war crimes, I could be wrong tho

[@jeannotlappin5278]

I thought it was an joke term for what they did with girls like "Gretel" ?

@@militaristaustrian No, they are referring to what the russians did in Latvia and the terrible things they did to the Latvian people and how the Latvian ss was pissed and wanted revenge.
