Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kas vīnu uz galda man liek.
Šo vīnu, šo dzirkstošo vīnu,
Kam sasildīt tevi ir nieks.
Šai vīnā, par ko es jums stāstu,
Ir ielieta dzīve un prieks,
Lai vienmēr jums pietiktu glāstu,
Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
Naktī bij uzsnidzis sniegs,
Ramona, Ramona, Ramona -
Šo vīnu uz galda man liec.
Es mīlēju meiteni skaisto,
Ramona, šķiet, bij viņas vārds
Es dāvāju krāšņākos ziedus,
Un naktī bij uzsnidzis sniegs.
