==Žiemė nådvårė==
This is a winter ''zanga'' (song) from Western dialects, known there as "Ziemė į dvårė". It tells a story about a young lad and a girl, who wanted to be together in an amber palace, but (according to the Pomorian tale) the castle was stricken by lightning and exploded and fell into the sea and their souls were taken by ''Mūrėna'' to her realm ''Mūriū'', where people forget, whom they were in a previous life.
