🎵 Riga – The Garden City Verse 1 Riga is a garden city, green and bright, Full of parks and trees and light. In spring the lilacs start to bloom, Apple trees smell sweet in June. Flowers grow in every street, Making Riga look complete. Chorus Oh Riga, city by the sea, A place of history. More than eight hundred years have gone, But Riga’s spirit still lives on. Green and proud, so old and free, Riga means a lot to me. Verse 2 Riga stands near the Baltic Sea, By the Daugava River flowing free. The city started long ago, In the year twelve-oh-one, you know. Traders came from different lands, Bringing goods with ships and hands. Verse 3 In the Old Town you can see Ancient streets and history. Riga Cathedral stands tall and strong, Its bells have rung for eight hundred years long. Riga Castle by the river side Has watched the city change with pride. Chorus Oh Riga, city by the sea, A place of history. More than eight hundred years have gone, But Riga’s spirit still lives on. Green and proud, so old and free, Riga means a lot to me. Verse 4 There are churches, towers, squares, Art Nouveau buildings everywhere. Parks are old and full of shade, Quiet paths where memories stay. People here are calm and kind, Strong in heart and strong in mind. Final Chorus Oh Riga, city by the sea, A place of history. From past to present we can see, A bridge of time and harmony. Green and proud for all to see, Riga lives in you and me. 🎵
