Latvian songs are just as valuable or even more precious than the Bible, says Ieva Auziņa Szentivanyi. Mansard publishes his well-stocked collection "Dainas", in which songs are published in parallel in Latvian and English. The publication for the first time offers such an overview of the Latvian value system.
"Much of the world speaks English, the songs are just as good or even more valuable than the Bible, but no one knows the songs outside of Latvia, and its value should not be lost," says Ieva Auziņa , Szentivanyi in the program "Culture Rondo" on Latvian radio
She says that from childhood she heard allegations about the value of songs, but did not understand their value
Saying that songs are valuable. think it's worth it – four short lines in plain language about everyday things What's up there? "Everyone nodded, but nobody asked why, I did not want to admit I'm the only fool, "remembers Auziņa Szentivanyi
It's only after studying at the university, after reading world literature, that she understood the value of songs with the Bible. And the next surprise was it – they are not available in English.
"Some translations were, but were not correct Some were right, but not dead The translations clearly describe the text, not the soul
I say intolerant that they look like dead cats – whiskers, a fur coat and a tail, but nothing nice, "says Auziņa Szentivanyi
