"Dod, dieviņi" Mūzika: Raimonds Tiguls Vārdi: Nora Ikstena Izpildītājs: Bostonas latviešu koris Mākslinieciskā vadītāja: Krisīte Skare Skaņu režisors: Michael Glashow Video montāža: Kaatje Jones Bostonas latviešu koris ir ļoti iemīļojis Raimonda Tigula un Noras Ikstenas dziesmu “Dod, dieviņi.” Šajos sarežģītajos un attālinātajos pašizolācijas laikos, šī dziesma un vārdi ir kā mierinājums mums visiem. Tā liek mums apjaust, ka pasaule un cilvēks ir viens vesels. Tā atgādina, ka mūsos pašos mīt dabas spēks, kas virza mūs cauri dabas procesiem, un ar šo apzināšanos mēs pārvarām grūtības ar vieglumu, dabiskumu, pašpietiekamību, pieticību, un pateicību. Boston Latvian Choir has loved singing this song for years and in these strange and uncertain pandemic times, the lyrics provide a sense of comfort: a connection with nature and its guiding life-force that feels greater than the obstacles the world currently faces. We remember our personal strength lies in ease, self-sufficiency, humility, and gratitude. "Dod, dieviņi" Synopsis by Annija Reinberga This is a song whose themes, values and rhythms are inspired by Latvian folk songs. The lyrics are a type of prayer (“Grant me, God”) that reflects a sense of the divine in everyday nature and throughout one’s life cycle. The singer feels a personal connection to God, addressing Him with the form of endearment used for the kind, grandfatherly deity in pre-Christian Latvian mythology. Reflecting the traditional life of the Latvian peasant, this song acknowledges the acceptance of fate and humility. In the first stanza, the singer welcomes and accepts whatever gifts (material and immaterial) God may send: eager to seize the opportunities that life presents, yet also accepting that there may be unexpected difficulties. In the second stanza the singer asks God for rain, water being the basis for a farm’s fertility and prosperity. Rain will ensure the well-being of the cattle (eating the blessed morning clover) and the sanctity of the household (the young men won’t be made to travel away to graze the horses, a rite of passage). The singer then asks God for a modest steed in order to ride humbly, mentioning riding implements (spurs and bridle) growing in groves of birch and linden trees, which, respectively, signify masculine and feminine essences. Birch groves are also a place for sacred reverence, and linden trees are associated with the goddess (spirit) of Fortune and Luck (Laima). In the last stanza, against the setting sun, the singer wishes for immaterial comforts for their golden years--warmth for the body (and soul) and a legacy of peace for the family, clan, and neighbors.
