Dievs, svētī Latviju! (God Bless Latvia!") is the national anthem of Latvia. The words and music were written in 1873 by Kārlis Baumanis, young Latvian nationalist.
During the annexation of Latvia by the Soviet Union, the singing of "Dievs, svētī Latviju!" was banned. The Soviet republic of Latvia had its own anthem.
"Dievs, svētī Latviju!" was restored as the state anthem of Latvia on 15 February 1990.

(English Lyrics / Translation)
God, bless Latvia!
Our beloved fatherland,
Bless Latvia,
Oh bless it, yet again!

Where Latvian daughters bloom,
Where Latvian sons sing,
Let us dance for joy there,
In our Latvia!
