Sviro Lingo from Motina by Yorige
This is a wedding song. It is about lots of beautiful girls doomed to be married and it is singing about how they should be careful to not pick a bad husband. This type of song and singing is a big part of Lithuanian heritage called Sutartines. Sutartinės (from the word sutarti – to be in concordance) is a form of polyphonic music performed by female singers in north-east Lithuania. Some of the types of sutartines involve intentional dissonance in harmonies which can be heard in Sviro lingo.

Lyrics
Sviro lingo
Sviro lingo mergeliu suolas x2 lioj
Visos linksmos visos grazios x2 lioj
Uzu marguju torelkeliu x2 lioj
Ar tau tevelis ar tau motule x2 lioj
Isei ,sesula, viduj aslales x 2 lioj
Tik nepalauzkie rutu sakeles x2 lioj
Nelenk ,sesula, mazo didzio x2 lioj
Si ryteli si baltuti x2 lioj
Translation:
A full bench of girls was bending
All of them are happy and beautiful
Behind the colourful plates
Is it the father or is it the mother
Come out, sister, outside the house
Don’t bend the rue branch
Don’t pick a small size
