2. Kas Tie Tadi  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Latin 
Kas tie tādi, kas dziedāja
Bez saulītes vakara?
Tie ir visi bāŗa bērni,
Bargu kungu klausītāj'.

Kur ugun, silda gaisu,
Slauka gaužas asariņ's.
Krimta cietu pelavmaizi,
Avotāi mērcēdam'.

Saulit lasa uziekdama
Zelta rasas lasites:
Ta nebija zelta rasa,
tas barinu asarin’s.

3. Aijā žūžū lāča bērni  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Latin 
Aijā žū žū* lāča bērni, aijā žū žū
Pekainam'i kājiņām'i, žū žū žū

Tēvs aizgāja medu vākt'i, aijā žū žū
Māte ogas palasīt'i, žū žū žū

Tēvs parnesa medus podu, aijā žū žū
Māte ogu vācelīti, žū žū žū

Tas mazam'i bērniņām'i aijā žū žū
Par mierīgu gulēšanu, žū žū žū
