Dziesmu svētki – Song festival p "Dziesma ir mūsu tautas kopēja elpa, tā ir mūsu tautas kopīgais sirdspuksts, tā ir mūsu sirdsapziņa. Dziesmā mēs esam bagāti, dziesmā mēs esam skaisti, dziesmā mēs esam vienoti un savā vienotībā stipri. Mēs dziedam, lai paši sev nepazustu, mēs dziedam, lai mēs viens otram vairs nepazustu, mēs dziedam, lai nepazustu pasaules vējos. " Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga, Latvian president (1999 -2007) p Song is our nation’s common breath, it is our nation’s common heart beat, it is our conscience. In song we are rich, in song we are beautiful, in song we are united and in our unity we are strong. We sing so that we don’t lose ourselves, we sing so that we no longer lose each other, we sing so that we don’t get lost in the winds of Earth.
