- Sveiki, draugi!
Who would Latvians be if they didn’t sing? And how could you say “no” when your beloved Latvian drags you to their Latvian choir practice despite the fact that you don’t understand a thing?
Don’t cry, I got you! Watch this video to learn the Latvian Choir Vocabulary and never be confused by the conductor again! Who knows, you might even end up by enjoying it. See you in Dziesmu Svētki 2023!
Translations of Latvian Choir lyrics here: / irregularlatvian
Dziesmu svētki is what got me interested in Latvia. My favourite song is virs galvas muzigs piena cels.
Oh Yes, It is a beautiful one! I’ll make sure to find a translation for it too :)
Don't forget Sadziedāšanās - The singing after the singing. Or the the bad singing after the good singing. Have sung in choirs all my life in Australia - Im now in a mixed and male choir. Next year will be my third Dziesmu Svētki. I not only cry to SPD but also Gaismas Pils and probably to a few others because I am just so overwhelmed to be able to participate in the greatest choir concert in the world. The big hit next year will be Augšup Dzīvībā skan. What a cracker of a song! And we have two concerts at the Estrāde - Tīrums and Augšup. Cant wait.
You're the second person I get to know who likes "Augšup dzīvība skan"! 😂 I like it too... kinda, but some people doesn't like it, as I understand for how difficult and crazy this song is. 😅
@@liesmazarina7578 my choir is also learning that song, it sounds cool, but the tenor Fa diēzs is so hard to reach😂
I am visiting Riga this wekeend and this channel has been so entertaining the last few months getting me prepared and teaching me words and culture. “Izceptajos” is probably my new favourite word in any language.
So glad to hear that! I hope youll have A Great time! :)
I've found out I'll need to learn Gaismas Pils by heart to sing it next year (if my choir makes it to the festival) 😱😱 As a non-Latvian who joined a choir because I started studying the language during Covid, it'll be a challenge 💪 I guess it'll be my "murgs", but I must say I get fuzzy when I listen to it on CZcams (2018 festival), it really is a great song
Well, thats perfect, because I started the extra patreon series exactly with Gaismas Pils :)
Don’t forget that there are also voice recordings by group, so you can listen and sing along exactly to your melody.
Mind if as, which choir is it and how do you even attend choir rehearsals, or do you do them remotely online?
@@TotalRookie_LV it's a diaspora choir in Denmark.
@@irregularLatvian it's mainly the lyrics that worries me, but the melody will also be something to learn "no galva". The recordings are great, I always feel a "connection" with the B1 guy after listening to him singing for so long 🙈
I'm not a singer, I'm not Latvian - but I will come to Latvia in July to experience this unique event, and I am SO much looking forward! This must be the most intense way to experience the true spirit of Latvia and it's people. Greetings from not that far away Denmark! :)
Waiting for the Irregular Latvian lesson on how to secure tickets for the closing concert! The 2018 concert was one of the most special moments of my life
🥰🥰 I’ll do my best to keep you informed! :)
Thank you! This video really spoke to me.
It must be my Latvian ancestry that drove me to sing in so many choirs and groups.
Love how you roll your Rs.
Aaa glad to hear that! I too have found my way to the choir. In high school years I couldn’t appreciate it, but now I sing and cry like a true Latvian. :)
I'm planning to go to the Song Festival next year! It'll be my first visit to the ancestral homeland!
Jā, jā, "food", kā tad!
"Laaai, krodziņš beidzot, vienoooo kopāāā mūūūūs"
I believe it's "tempo", not rhytm".
Un vēl viens no pilāriem ir elpa - gana dziļa un īstjā brīdī.
Fakts. Un jāprot, protams, arī neelpot vispār :)
I will be spending significant amounts of time in Latvia starting in November. I just contacted someone about joining a chorus. 🙂
Well, that is great news! Enjoy it and eat lots of rye bread :)
You should join Emils Darzins Mixed Choir!
You are great! Paldies
Woohoo. Flight tickets and hotel ready for the Festival! I hope I can get the tickets for the Together concert this Friday. 5 years ago it was sold out.
Esmu no Kanādas bet strādāju Latvijā un tavi video ir loti noderīgi!!! Paldies!!!
Lieliski! Ceru, ka Tev patīk un ka Tu dziedi korī :)))
@@irregularLatvian Man nav laba balss, bet es mēģināšu.......
@@AnnaGoodWolf viss ir uztrenejams! Neaizmirsti, ka dziesmu svētkiem ir balsu ieraksti - tiem var dziedat līdzi, kamēr iemācās :)
Great topic! In one of my parallel lives, I have moved to Riga and joined a choir. Haha! Sveicieni no Grieķijas
Thanks for your comment and for the sveiciens! :) 🥰
Latvia❤❤
A great fast-tempoed episode, perfect for the intermediate. Thanks, Anete!
I cry when i hear latvian songs.. and im not a latvian! But i love them all
I have been visiting your channel from India... now its a little while now that I came to Latvia..
Thanks for making learn Latvian fun but also I want to tell you that you are becoming very beautiful and so decent day by day.. stay blessed ❤😇🤟
Just a correction: "Pauze" in Latvian translates as "rest" in English, not "pause", which in music means a fermata.
omg you look beautiful Anete! i love your hair and thank you for this lesson! I'm so excited to go to Latvia one day and hopefully attend the Festival!
I love how the animals are part of your show. Lololololol
Sveiki vissiem! Oh, just watching this video made me miss choir singing so bad. I've sang in choirs in childhood and youth but i haven't found one in recent years that would suit my musical interests and timetable! I would love to join the choir festivities one day. But before that i should acquire a Finnish national costume to show my own colours!😊😁
What a lovely new dream!
Thank you for awakening this !
Parabéns pelo show de conteúdo sucesso pra você minha amiga
Thank you for being honest about your Country (Latvia) so many people give there opinion instead of enjoying your culture and land.
Super video! Es būšu Dziesmu svētkos! Šie man ar kori būs otrie Dziesmu svētki! Vai tu arī dziedi korī? Ja jā - kurā (ja nav noslēpums:D)?
Lieliski! Tad jau tiksimies. Es dziedu diasporas ģimeņu korī “Staro” :)
@@irregularLatvian Forši! Es esmu korī LU LFMO jauktajā korī Aura.
@@liesmazarina7578 super!! Tajā droši vien pamatīgi “spiež sulu” :)))
@@irregularLatvian Jā! Reizēm jūtos izspiesta kā citrons!
Super model !
Hello. I just subscribed to your channel. My choir will be singing a Latvian song for a competition this year. We hope we could ask for help with pronunciation. Thank you so much.

I love watching ur videos since 2018 it was all good content. And i recommend to my friends to watch ur videos. Btw a quick question what is "Sorry to bother again" in latvian ? Can u translate it to me in the usual way
Well, it has been more than 2 years since I have found a Latvian pen pal. We are going great together. Where have you been all these years ;o)
Labuvakar Boosh!!
"Kapēc nomirāt?" Ir viss smieklīgākā lieta ko es esmu dzirdējus sāvā dzīvē. Paldies par mācību kā man izdzīvot labāk kora klasē, atceroties šīs smieklīgās lietas!😂😂😂
Godīgi sakot, es tā īsti nesaprotu biļešu pirkšanu uz Dziesmu svētkiem. Būt tur augšā uz podestiem un pirms tam piedalīties koru karos, tas gan, tā ir pavisam cita lieta!
Kādu brīdi vidusskolā biju divos koros uzreiz - jauktajā korī kā jau visi plus vēl kamerkorī pēc stundām. Bet tad kādā brīdī sačakarēju balsi (gan pārpūlēju balss lūšana laikā, gan, kā izrādās, kuņģa sula var apdedzināt balss saites, ja ir tā saucamais atvilnis). Un tagad tā stulbi sanāk, ka es vairs tā īsti neprotu dziedāt - balss nav iestatīta, jo kamēr biju koros, visu laiku biju pirmais tenors, bet tagad ir vismaz baritons, ja ne bass.
Oho. Vidusskolas laikā gan nevarēju lepoties ar labu kora apmeklētību. Man tolaik līkās, ka tas ir kaut kāds cilvektiesību pārkāpums - likt nākt dziedat 8:00, pie tam ziemā!
Bet tagad gan priecājos, ka man ir koris. Pilnīgi gribētos, lai biežāk būtu… pat, ja 8:00 no rīta. Eh..
@@irregularLatvian Ha, tikko atcerējos, ka manas mammas vecāki tak satikās dēļ dziedāšanas! Vectēvs bija vienā korī, vecmamma citā, bet satikās kopīgā pasākumā kādu nebija mazums. Vectēvs līdz pamatīgam vecumam dziedāja korī "Tēvzeme", kora klubs bija arī viens no štābiem 1991. gada barikādēs, kur ieiet iekšā sasildīties un paēst.
@@irregularLatvian Jā - tā pa īstam lietas sākam novērtēt tikai pieaugot. Es arī esmu dziedājusi jau kopš pamatskolas laikiem. Patika dziedāt, bet tolaik nav bijis tāds entuziasms, it īpaši uz sarežģītākām dziesmām.
🤍🇱🇻🤍
