Priscilla Hernandez Līgo (Traditional Latvian song for Summer)

[@yidneth]

Preparing a new Latvian traditional song right now :) Stay tuned ! :)

[@ironjohn]

I turned on this video and fell asleep in the meantime. I dreamed of one of the most beautiful dreams of my life.

[@Mandrake4747lv]

Great Work. Love from India. I can feel the beauty of nature and love of people in Latvia from this amazing song. Keep going. ❤

[@Jesus_Saves_Believers]

Beautiful!! Vai zināji, ka Dievs tevi mīl? Jēzus Kristus ir Dieva Dēls un ir Dievs. Jēzus nomira par mūsu grēkiem, tika apglabāts un augšāmcēlās, lai visiem, kas tic šai labajai vēstij, būtu mūžīgā dzīvība. Tici Tam Kungam Jēzum Kristum un esi glābts! Jāņa 3:15

[@vesma25]

Summer Solstice is a very special celebration for any Latvian. No matter where we are, no matter what we do, we feel the peak in the nature as it approaches the shortest night of the year. The leaves are the greenest, the flowers- brightest and we begin to sing Līgo songs. Just once a year, for few short days, but so necessary for our souls. We watch sun set, we burn our last year's crowns in bonfires that keep the light through the night and we watch a new sun rise the next morning.. I truly hope, you can join the magic that is Summer Solstice in Latvia.

[@yidneth]

I keep on dreaming I'll be able to visit Latvia for LIgo it would be lovely. Actually I made this as a compliment to a Latvian friend but in the process I fell in love with some of your traiditional songs... son don't discard the chance another Latvian is shared next year when I have the time to record it. The celebrations sounds so lovely and so in harmony with Nature... it's a beautiful tradition.

[@vesma25]

@@yidneth , I am looking forward to some more Latvian songs recorded in your beautiful voice! Happy Summer Solstice!

[@FirstLast-ym9vs]

Omg!!! I would definitely would love to join you and feel it in full!! Now I have agenda to go to Latvia, rather then just see Riga. Where is it usually going on and who is organizer?

And it's again this magical time of the year again this year the pandemic and all has made it a bit stranged as we missed most Spring but I'll go to the woods and dip my feet in the creek. Blessed Līgo/Summer Solstice.

Oh, Paldies! and Thanks so much for the comment. It might not be the last song in Latvian I record, you have such a treasure of music heritage. Though I write my own original songs, I am drawn into ancient songs full of lore. There is a second song in latvian in the channel (I found that another a bit more difficult to pronounce) but they're done with respect and the heart in its place.

hi ! a little late to the party but do you know other versions of this song ? the only one that I can find is the one directed by Ārijs Šķepasts and this cover. It is described as a latvian folk song but was it created just for this festival 9 years ago ? thanks

After stumbling across Tautumeitas I became slowly more fascinated by Latvian folk culture, and now I'm on a kick for Ligo songs The traditions, songs, culture, all very beautiful! 💚💚💚

Aw thanks so much, I'm not Latvian so I did my best to honour the tradition, this was made to surprise a friend of me who is Latvian and told me I was celebrating Ligo in my own way, and I find the meaning of the festival so beautiful.

Whoa, it's extremely beautiful. As a Latvian myself I approve and I'm extremely happy you decided to sing Latvian folklore music. Your voice is amazing and the video gives the perfect feeling of Līgo. Well done.

[@yidneth]

Oh that's such a huge compliment, it was originated as a kind of little challenge to surprise a fellow Latvian friend, and kind of grew on me and ended up doing a video. I was concerned because I do not speak Latvian and I was worried I would not be understandable or I would sound funny. I tried my best and tried to locate places around me that I thought would look "similar" in spirit... and that's how a little corner from Spain became Latvia (at least in Spirit) for Līgo

[@Vort317545]

Don't worry if you didn't get some of the wording right (from my ear you got it right.) What is important about Latvian folk music is that it comes from the depths of the heart. That's something the vocal cords cannot master. You did absolutely Great! Dare I say even better then some Native Latvians Sing it. It was so beautifully traditionally. Brought tears to this Latvians eyes. Thank you! And the Nature scenery went PREFECT with the song! Latvians were the very last Nature Worshiping Pagans of Europe. Nature still to this day plays a VERY heart string in us.

[@yidneth]

Thank you, that really sweet, especially if you think it honours the tradition of your country. I made this with absolute respect for the name day of a Latvian friend who is always tempting me to visit for Midsummer celebrations, she's so sweet, and I sense the love for Nature in it. It's something beautiful, you have such a beautiful heritage. I know my pronunciation may not be perfect, I am Spanish in fact but I tried by best also to scout landscapes I thought were similar or close in spirit. I will be wearing a garland and going to a creek for the day :) I've learned other two songs in Latvian since but I've not had time to record them yet :) Thanks for leaving such beautiful message, it really made my day.

[@yami0204]

Latvian folk songs are always so beautiful, and this arrangement is incredibly gorgeous! The combination of harp and kokle is so tranquil and entrancing!

[@yidneth]

I have fallen in love with a few of them, this was one and there is another I feel tempted to try now...I was concerned as I'm not Latvian speaker that my words could be understood. I have spent some solstices wearing garlands and bathing in rivers, celebrating my own LIgo without knowing of their tradition... and I felt, this is something I've done by intuition... the video expetended as a Harvest celebration too... it's time to collect the fruits of our work kind of metaphor too.

[@yidneth]

Thank you very much, there are now a few other Latvian songs that are tempting me to give a try :) I agree they are beautiful. Even if I'm Spanish and was a bit of a challenge for me to dare try it (I was afraid to mispronounce) I may dare once more next year

[@IvarsBezdechi]

Absolutely amazing video, absolutely amazing song performance.....As someone with Latvian heritage, I'm so incredibly and moved by your creation..... More please!

[@yidneth]

I hope to record another Latvian folk song song, līgo drawing near

[@starrweils]

So beautiful, one of my favorites. ❤

[@yidneth]

Līgo is precisely the 23th, it is a celebration of midsummer. There are many many old songs for this day and they all usually say that word

[@Mr_Ivar.]

Very emotional performance! Thank you, Priscilla!

[@yidneth]

We are entering that time if the yearoh the light

[@LdyKat]

Wonderful and beautiful. You said you do not speak Latvian. I am Latvian and fluent in the language and this video and your rendition of it so remarkable. You have a talent for language. Latvian is a difficult one to learn . I thank you, and your friend for taking our folklore to the world. So well done. Paldies :-)

[@yidneth]

If you know of old Latvian songs, better if public domain I'm open for recommendations. There is one at least I know I'll give a try. Yes, I am not Latvian Speaker but I tried my best to be clear, of course with respect and being aware that as not native it might not be perfect, but I thought Ligo is such a perfect way to worship the goods that the "light" brings in Nature. Getting close now. Guess I'll wear a garland and go dip my feet by a creek.

[@drerri]

thank you for this.

[@yidneth]

You're very welcome! I love Latvian folklore and Dainas, and though I'm foreign this is actually the second song in this language I sing. There's another right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH6upo2Ieaqqh8k

[@Frensisa]

Līgo is such a beautiful celebration that sadly on many occasions nowadays has turned into a BBQ with lots of beer. But your interpretation of this song moved me to tears as it captures the essence of Līgo. I was blown away ♥️ I could listen to it on repeat all day long. Very well done! Hope to hear you sing more Latvian folksongs as it's like a balm to one's soul.

[@yidneth]

I am honoured. For me it is a tradition to worship Nature and be grateful of the gifts it brings in the light time of the year. Hope to see Līgo in Latvia one day, I will wear a garland and find a creek. I would live to sing more latvian songs. Any recommendation of old traditionals? Have a blessed solstice/līgo

[@Frensisa]

@@yidneth, when you get a chance to come to Latvia for Līgo, try one of the places where they still do it more or less authentically - Zosēni, for example (literally that place name means Ducklings :)) with many bonfires, traditional costumes, folk songs, burning a big cartweel with hay and rolling it off the hill, midnight swimming in a lake, etc. That's something that stays with you forever and I wish you could experience it one day. Best of luck!

[@yidneth]

@@Frensisa thank you very much for the recommendation. I have a Latvian friend I want to visit and it's in the bucket list for a long while. I almost got there this year but sadly I could not afford it. Still, one day. I'm in love of all old traditions being respectful and grateful to Mother Nature, and your heritage is beautiful. I did my approach with utter respect for it and I hope it shows. Best!

[@usmilitary2847]

Hello

[@usmilitary2847]

You look beautiful

[@Vort317545]

As a Latvian-American. I do not say this litely Priscilla sings this very ancient and Traditional Song for Holy Mid Summer. So movingly and so sacredly it brings tears to this Latvian's eyes. Your not going to find a more beautiful redition of the song here on KZbin. Ligo is the Latvian Mid Summer (June 21st) Hoildays which is a 3 day National Hoilday in Latvia to this day. It hark en's back directly to our Pagan Earth Worshiping Days. Though Latvia is largely Christian today due to Christian occupation beginning in 13th Century. All Latvians are strongly pround and passionate about our Pagan Roots. An still celebrate the Old Faith Traditions. English Translation of the Song: Līgo līgo, līgo, lī līgo, līgo, līgo līgo, līgo, lī līgo, līgo, līgo Goddess of darkness, goddess of fog līgo, līgo, Was being purified on the other side of the lake līgo. Reeds are thundering, flowers with long stalks whispering līgo, līgo, Their voices tempt me into the shrubs and reeds by the lake līgo. līgo, līgo, lī līgo, līgo, līgo Lightly I walked over the water of the lake līgo, līgo, Like a light-winged bird līgo. I knew a golden reed līgo, līgo, To be on their side of the lake līgo. līgo, līgo, lī līgo, līgo, līgo līgo, līgo, lī līgo, līgo, līgo I shakily reached my destination and found līgo, līgo, Finding my broken golden reed līgo. With dozens of young girls wreaths līgo, līgo, The lakeside was scattered (with them) līgo. līgo, līgo, lī līgo, līgo, līgo līgo, līgo, lī līgo, līgo, līgo Goddess of darkness, goddess of fog līgo, līgo, Raise your woolen cape, līgo. So that dear Māra1līgo, līgo, Knows how to heal my reed līgo. līgo, līgo, lī līgo, līgo, līgo Līgo 1. Māra is the most important goddess in latvian folklore. She is Mother Earth!

[@yidneth]

This comment just made my day. I am from Spain and this was a gift for a good friend from Latvia on her name day. I often wear garlands and bathe in ponds especially in midsummer so we used to joke I celebrated my līgo here. Thanks for the most accurate tranlation. I will share it with your permission to an user asking for the words. Thank you so much. There is a new Latvian song coming up soon, was more difficult for me as non native to pronounce but I will hope it is ok. They are done with respect. We are all children of Mother Earth you know, and in many ways she heals me. Thank you.

[@yidneth]

And it's this time of the year again, Blessed Blessed Līgo/Summer Solstice.

[@amberhawke]

Vort, I would slightly disagree with your assessment that Māra is the most important goddess. Laima is equally important. Both were prayed to, or invoked, equally. Whereas Māra's domain is, as you said, the earth, she is also invoked when asking for health, successful child-bearing and wellness of people. Laima is the goddess of fate, she was invoked to ask for a blessed and happy life and later, for example, when older, a happy marriage with a compassionate, loving and hard-working husband or wife. Priscilla, your rendition is beautiful! Very beautiful videography. Thank you.

[@yidneth]

@@amberhawke And thanks for the additional information, I celebrated it on solstice day and again yesterday, I made a crown with flowers and sang dipping my feet in the creek. Thanks for the kind words. I am doing a new Latvian song "Jura gaju Naudas gūt" About people lost at sea. I find it a bit more difficult to pronounce as melody flows and I try my best as non Latvian speaker. With utter respect for traditions

I think world nowadays is so global that even if you can be proud of your heritage we pretty much have mixed up to a point where we are just earthlings. I love folklore though,and fairytales and mythology and Latvia has such a rich mythology and very linked to Nature and the Dainas (songs).

This captures the vibrancy of summer, and you really went all in on visuals of flora and fauna, and the daffodils give a slight nod back to springtime, now fading from view. Ooh, seeing that tall grass just *_really_* stresses just me out though; I can feel the ticks! :O I've become *_very_* good as screening them over the years. lol Overall though, your rendition of the song is lovely. teehee Thank you and love you!

[@yidneth]

The song starts in Spring with green grass and finishes in Summer with golden wheat. I always celebrated my own way weaving garlands and bathing so this tradition resonates close. Plus latvian songs mention many mother goddesses of nature and I love that. In this song Tumsas matte miglas matte (mother fog, mother darkness) and Mara (bringer of the harvest)

[@alestiiidaeno_last3075]

​@@yidneth It is so lovely to watch wheat progress through life; the little grains expand with green life, only to yellow and fade from view during the hottest time of year summer. Even if they can never see their own children rise again from the soil, fruits of labor cannot be denied. It is refreshing to hear acknowledgement of fog and darkness; too often focus is placed on summer sun, but its only one aspect of nature;. Morning mist is the only thing that sustains some flora through the dry season where I live. So its an important part of the wilderness, even if most people don't find it 'picturesque'. We should aim for balance. Hopefully the air was clear enough of smoke for you to truly enrich yourself on the solstice (since I know fire is still in your area) in tradition. Even if its not the solstice, there will always be other summer nights to make your own magic.

[@ShannonModrell]

[@rocketman6951]

Beautiful song keep up the great work 🙂

[@yidneth]

Thank you, this one is traditional folk but you will find mynown originals too in the channel

[@broccoli3978]

This is so beautiful! I want to know more about this country, to visit it and to hear some more songs

[@yidneth]

thanks I will investigate some of the links and songs when I have some time, thanks for the suggestions, I have another second Latvian song on the way. But I'm open for any public domain old traditionals from any country that has a story to tell. Best regards, happened to read this on Solstice, so blessed LIGO

[@yidneth]

@Kolnu Andrius I have them bookmarked to have a look, so far there is another Latvian song in the making Jura Gaju naudas gūt

[@yidneth]

@Kolnu Andrius And blessed Līgo. I celebrated it yesterday, made a crown and sang by the creek.

[@jaisandmuma]

Sublime, un perfecto homenaje a la belleza de la naturaleza en conjunción con la música.

[@yidneth]

Gracias, espero poder visitar Latvia (letonia) algún día durante las celebraciones de Ligo, la verdad es que me parece una celebración preciosa, hice esto para sorprender a una amiga letona y pensaba hacer algo sencillo por su santo, pero acabé haciendo el video, y celebrándo mi ligo a distancia :)

[@deadly_dapperling]

I am part Latvian and I love the Latvian culture

[@yidneth]

I love Dainas (latvian folk songs) and the rich folklore behind them and an inherent respect for nature in their lyrics. It is recognized by Unesco as a cultural treasure. I am from 🇪🇸 but did this for a Latvian friend and wont be the last latvian song youll hear me sing. Paldies 💕

[@zzz36999]

Wow, impressive! ❤️❤️❤️

[@yidneth]

Thanks

[@maliquiga]

Hermoso video. Saludos desde Colombia.

[@yidneth]

Saludos desde este lado del charco desde España, en Latvia hay diosas o "madres" que se encargan de diferentes aspectos de la naturaleza, madre de la niebla, madre de la oscuridad, madre tierra, varias se mencionan.

[@yidneth]

Greetings from Spain. I make my own original music but this is a Latvian traditional, there are other traditionals from different countries, what is your favourite traditional song from yours?

Absolutamente sublime Priscilla, precioso como siempre, lo ame de principio a fin! Cuando sera el día que hagas algo que no me gusta? Nunca. No había escuchado esta canción folk, pero tu versión es preciosa, y el vídeo por igual, la localización es perfecta. Felicidades Priscilla, eres una artista excepcional. Saludos, espero que estés bien! Fae blessings!

[@yidneth]

La verdad la hice como un cumplido a una amiga mía de Letonia por su santo, siempre me gustó y ella me ayudó a mejorar mi pronunciación, en el proceso me enamoré de algunas otras canciones de Letonia así que aunque suene raro para una española igual aprendo alguna otra ;-)

Muchísimas gracias, la verdad ahora extraño la luz del verano, Ligo es una tradición letona para celebrar el verano, espero algún día visitar Letonia en esa fecha, ahora nos aproximamos al otro solsticio aquí, Yule se acerca.

[@yidneth]

Muchísimas gracias Cris. Hay un blog con la traducción en la web, aún no he tenido ni tiempo de anunciar las cosas bien, pero no quería retrasarlo más porque fue el santo de mi amiga Linda que es la que me animó a aprender esta canción de su pais.
