It was in this village that in June 1941 the officer élite of the Latvian army was ambushed, disarmed and deported by the occupying Soviet forces. This despite the fact that the officers as members of the territorial army were at the time under the jurisdiction of the Red Army. The words of the ballad do not express emotions like sorrow, rage or mourning, but shows how base treason renders people heartless. Vask's music emphasises the irreconcilable difference between negative emotions and a tender, lyrical atmosphere.

Dit was in hierdie dorp wat in Junie 1941 het die beampte elite van die Lets weermag is 'n lokval gelei, ontwapen en gedeporteer deur die besetting Sowjet-magte. Dit ten spyte van die feit dat die beamptes as lede van die territoriale laer was in die tyd onder die jurisdiksie van die Rooi Weermag. Die woorde van die ballade nie emosies soos hartseer, woede of rou uitspreek nie, maar wys hoe basis verraad lewer mense hartelose. Vask se musiek beklemtoon die onversoenbare verskil tussen negatiewe emosies en 'n tender, liriese atmosfeer.
