Comment

Div' dūjiņas gaisā skrēja (English: Two doves bolted into the blue) is the title of a traditional Latvian folk song that is best known as a musical composition by Jānis Cimze.

Notes on the translation

verse 1—skrēja translates most literally as "ran", here in the sense of dashing up into the air, this is the only verse in the translation which does not repeat the verb consistently within the verse.
