from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by K. Kalniņ

Hab' es nicht als Kind gesehen
 (Sung text for setting by Ore)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latvian (Latviešu valoda) 
Hab' es nicht als Kind gesehen,
als das Mütterlein mir starb;
jetzt nach langem Suchen fand ich
meiner lieben Mutter Grab.

Auf dem weißen, sand’gen Hügel, 
unter grünem Rasenschmuck, 
unter jenem grünen Rasen
ruht mein liebes Mütterlein.

Ach erwache, teure Mutter!
Rasen wälz' ich dir vom Haupt, 
höre, was die fremde Mutter 
deiner Waise Leides tut.

Composition:

    Set to music by Ādams Ore (1855 - 1927), "Hab' es nicht als Kind gesehen", published 1890 [ voice and piano ], from Lettische Volkslieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianoforte, no. 4, Riga, Blosfeld
