Granny

I have granny, she lives fare away
Not many people know about her
She is so old as her roots
And I have those roots to
And I'm proud

She spanks cows at six in the morning
Later cook country cheese with milk
She calls her village friends who are still alive
Speaks Latgalian and offers goods in exchange
And that's what I love about her

How could I be alive if not for her
How would I live if her kindness

She used to have a lot of animals
Chicken sheep and horse, what was called Dzintar
He survived my grandfathers and film photography
He saw how grandchildren come to this land
He saw me feeding him apples, he never bit my palm
His teeth are the size of my finger

But by now the place worn out
Everyone who ate a lot had to turn in for meat
Mouths big times difficult for country lands
All that is left is a side-sloping family
House in the middle of 11 hectares
And relatives no longer come there
Because they all left for the big cities

How could I be alive if not for her
How would I live if her kindness
