Pauls explained that the famous Russian song Миллионы алых роз (A Million Scarlet Roses) is known by a different name in Latvian - namely Dāvāja Māriņa - and that the original lyrics are completely different as well. When asked what the Latvian version of the song is actually about, Pauls gave a thorough answer: “Oh, there was some kind of sentimental story, some girl.”
