Lana, Lana, dzimtenē manā drīz snigs.
Lana, Lana Baltezers sasals un aizsnigs
Lana, Lana, ziemelis griezīgi kauks.
Lai rītos, tais rītos saltos
Tev rokas ir gaismā baltas
Un mieru man dod, mieru man dod.
Lana, Lana, neatstāj rokas zem sniega,
Lana, Lana, ziemelis griezīgi kauks.
Lana, Lana, lūdzu, man uguni iekur,
Lana, Lana, pīlādzī uguni kur.
