Story Behind the Song
These vintage song, stories, and poems are a classic collection of cherished Lithuanian children's songs sung by children and stories passed down through the ages. Almost thirty years ago, three Lithuanian families from Chicago's North Shore recorded these nursery rhymes, tales, and poems in an effort to preserve the Lithuanian culture which was then under Communist government.
Lyrics
Following are the song lyrics, stories, and poems in Lithuanian. The English translations are in (parentheses). Enjoy!
1. Sniego Senis (Snowman)
Baltas sniego seni (White snowman)
Kur tu gyveni? (Where do you live?)
Ar ant aukshto kalno? (On a tall mountain?)
Ar kokiam sleni? (Or in a cave?)
Tavo morkos nosies niekur nematau
(I don’t see your carrot nose)
Ar vilkai ar kishkiai ja nugrauzhe tau?
(Did wolves or rabbits eat it?)
Baltas sniego seni knygoj ash machiau
(White snowman I saw in a book)
O tevelis sake ash ji pats stachiau
(Father said that I built it)
Ash tai pats statysiu kai ateis zhiema
(I will build one this coming winter)
Kai ishleis i kiema palakstyt mama
(When my mother will let me out to play)
Baltas sniego seni, labas ir sudieu
(White snowman, hello and goodbye)
Zhiema susitiksim su tavim kasdien.
(In winter, I will meet you everday)
2. Lyja Lietus, Krinta Snaiges (It is Raining, Snowflakes are Falling)
Lyja lyja lietus (Raining raining rain)
Per karaliaus pietus (During the king’s lunch)
Karaliene verkia (The queen is crying)
Karaliukai knarkia. (The princes are sleeping)
Krinta baltos snaiges (White snowflakes are falling)
Vaikai bekim zhaisti (Kids let’s go play)
Pastatysim sniego seni (We will build a snowman)
Desim jam kepure. (And give him a hat)
3. Kaminkretys (Chimney sweep)
Buvo toks kaminkretys (There was a chimney sweep)
Juodas tartum shepetys (A black brush)
Tartum tamsus jis patsai (He was himself dark)
Juodos rankos jo visai (His hands were black)
Ka ranka jis prisiles (Whatever he touches with his hand)
Tas but baltas negales (Will never be white)
Tas bus juodas kaip anglis (It will be black as coal)
Buvo toks kaminkretys (There was a chimney sweep)
Ir keliavo gatvele (He traveled the streets)
Ant peties su shluotele (On his shoulder was a broom)
Ejo kaminus valyt (He went to clean the chimneys)
Ir pradejo smarkiai lyt (And it started to rain)
Lyjo puse valandos (It rained half an hour)
Ant kepures jo juodos (On his black hat)
Ir paliko ji balta (And left it white)
Kaip katytye ishprausta (Like a bathed kitten)
