    Sājāja bramaņi
    Augstajā kalnā,
    Sakāra zobenus
    Svētajā kokā.
    Svētajam kokam
    Deviņi zari,
    Ik zara galā
    Deviņi ziedi,
    Ik zieda galā
    Deviņas ogas.

    Bramani rode up
    to the highest mountain,
    dangled switches (Lith. žabas - a switch, Latv. zobena - a sword)
    on the sacred tree (kokas - no equivalents in Lithuanian).
    On the sacred tree
    nine branches (zari - no equivalents)
    to the ends of brances
    nine blooms
    to the ends of blooms
    nine berries

    Many thanks, Human_Master, so we now have an English translation from real Latvians.
    I would like to agree that this is some latvian jokes.
