Wow, thank you for your amazing help!
I'm back again with a song, I'm not sure if this was before in the forum or not. There's also lyrics in the description, but could you please check it? And also the translation. And word by word, if possible...

Hi, I would like to ask you about a Livonian folk song's lyrics.
Here is this song sung by Skandenieki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubjiEVEhKv8
There is a lyrics in the description, but after seeing another version in this site - I'm not sure.
There was a post before of Tuļļi Lum's Jōņ loul lyrics - the first two verses are the same, I think. Could you help me with the rest of the song? I would like to have the lyrics as precise as it could be, with all diacritics and things. (And maybe some explanation about the words). Thank you!

Their translation is really quite good. It's good enough that I'm adding my own translation for the individual words below but using their translations for the full lines. The differences between theirs and the one I posted previously on this forum are due to their second stanzas being entirely different, not due to translation issues (except for one concerning the word viedāmõsõ, which I've explained below).
Their spelling seems to be a little off (pūošõdõn not pousõdõn, amā jõvā not amajuva, etc.) Below, I've changed the spelling.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubjiEVEhKv8

Ak sa Jōņõ, ēdrum Jōņõ = Oh, you John, John of the blooms

ak = oh
sa = you (they have it capitalized, like many European languages do in writing. I haven't seen this done in Livonian elsewhere, but I don't see why not.)
Jōņõ = Saint John in this case, but it is also just the name "John" in general
ēdrum = flower, bloom
Jōņõ = [Saint] John
They have written this last part as one word: ēdrumjōņõ = "bloom-John". I don't really see anything wrong with that. Compound words are extremely common. The reason I write it as two words is because it seems awkward to me to use a proper noun (Jōņõ) in the second part of the compound. I feel like proper name should be capitalized and you can't capitalize it mid-word. But I don't know what Livonian spelling rules would really have to say about that. Perhaps ēdrum-Jōņõ would work.

Mis sin ummõ viedāmõsõ = What have you got in the carriage?

mis = what
sin = your (you, genitive case)
ummõ = your own, one’s one
viedāmõsõ = into cargo (viedām = cargo)
In my earlier translation of this song I had this written viedāmõsõ as two words. That's an error. Back then I mis-analyzed viedā as a form of the verb vieddā (to carry) rather than of the noun viedām (cargo). And I couldn't figure out the meaning mõsõ back then, because on its own it isn't a word. But I understand it now: as viedāmõsõ it means "in the cargo", referring to what he has in his carriage or wagon. So literally it is asking "What do you have in your cargo?"

Neitsõdõn um kūldist vāņka = golden wreaths for the maidens

neitsõdõn = the girls (dative case)
um = is
kūldist = golden
vāņka = wreath, garland (of flowers or cloth)
I believe the "golden wreaths" are made out of gold-colored flowers. Vāņkad would not normally be made of actual gold as far as I know.

Pūošõdõn um tšounõ kibār. = Marten's fur caps for the lads

pūošõdõn = the boys (dative case)
um = is
tšounõ = marten (in this case, referring to the fur of the marten, but it just means "marten")
kibār = cap

Amā jõvā Jōņõāina = All the good John's herbs

amā = all, everything
jõvā = good
Jōņõ = [Saint] John’s
āina = plants, grass, herbs
As a compound word Jōņõāina refers to the plants/grasses/herbs used for Saint John's Day/Midsummer (this is also referred to in the next line). I've heard this before as Jōņāina, but in the recording they clearly say Jōņõāina. I'm not sure if that's a dialect variation or the extra syllable was added to maintain the correct meter in the song.

mis katkūb Jōņȭdõn = that are picked on St. John's Eve

mis = what, which
katkūb = plucks, breaks, cracks - it refers to breaking something, but here it means picking the ferns and flowers, since you have to break stems in order to pick them
Jōņȭdõn = on Saint John’s Eve (ȭdõn= in the evening); on Midsummer's Eve

Papāstõmd, īrtabārd = fern, yarrow

papāstõmd = ferns (plural)
tabārd = yarrows (plural)
īrtabārd = a specific kind of yarrow: “mouse-yarrow”, īr = mouse, tabārd is the plural of tabār “yarrow”

Punni, vālda ōboliņ = red and white little clover

punni = red
vālda = white
ōbiliņ= little clover (from ōbiļ "clover")

Back here, I just want to ask you what is Jānīti? (You missed it from the text here, but I've found it in Tuļļi lum song's lyrics you uploaded before). Also how can līgõ be translated or explained? I saw you wrote that in this song it don't have a specific meaning, I'm just wondering. Thank you!

Both of these are refrains associated with the midsummer celebration. Jānīti is from a Latvian diminutive form of the name for Saint John. So its use here is as far as I know influence from Latvian, but refers again to Saint John.
"Līgõ" here is just a refrain that doesn't have a specific meaning, but it is also associated with the midsummer celebration. Refrains like this are used at the end of lines (in Livonian, Estonian, etc. songs) to create the rhythm and to give the singer time to come up with (remember or invent) the next line. They are usually said twice (līgõ, līgõ) and used at the end of every line of a given song. Some have no meaning at all.
So it could be thought of as simply a "meaningless refrain" because that is how it is used, but in this case "līgõ" does have several potential meanings. One meaning of "līgõ" is simply "to sing midsummer songs" (AFAIK this meaning arose due to the use of the refrain in midsummer songs, rather than the other way around) and another meaning is "swing, sway" (infinitive form of the verb līgõ) or "come, stay" (jussive form of the verb līdõ). So it is somewhat ambiguous here, just a sort of refrain related to midsummer inviting people to join the song or to join the celebration, without precise meaning but understood to mean roughly something like "we're singing this song, join the midsummer festivities!". Again the reason it is there in the song is more to set the atmosphere and maintain the desired rhythm, not so much for its specific meaning, but when people hear "līgõ, līgõ" they would know a midsummer song is being sung.

As another example, here is a Võro/South Estonian midsummer song that uses the refrain "liigo". The song is called simply "Liigolaul" (liigo-song, which the dictionary defines as "Latvian Midsummer Song") and the singer has not included the refrain in the lyrics she posted in the video description. In other words it is more "a feature of this type of song" than actual meaningful lyrics. The refrain is used in Latvian midsummer songs as well, so, basically, throughout the whole region in various languages.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaf8phUTavs
The Finnish band Värttinä, who sing in Finnish but have a lot of influences from other Finno-Ugric languages in their songs, also has a song called Liigua with the refrain "liigua, liigua":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaUmv7fDpGw
And a Latvian one (where again they did not include the "līgo" lines in the lyrics that are written in the description, presumably because those lines aren't considered to add any meaning to the song) - although in Latvian you can also translate it as "sway". Whether or not it is meant to have that meaning in midsummer songs seems to be open to debate. Here, you can hear various variations of it from the different singers from (judging from their clothing) different regions of Latvia, at different points in the song - they don't all pronounce it as līgo:

(my translation)
I was born into two languages
Father didn't say anything
when in school I learned well
my mother-given Latvian,
flexed German and Russian
and dialect into standard language.

That language, which my father gave -
Livonian, a death knell sounding;
my ears awakened too late,
speaking Livonian for the river,
for drifting clouds,
for seashells,
for stones at the bottom of the sea,
for the junipers of dead villages.

And now, sea, give forgiveness,
and take care of yourself,
as the lords throw dice.
And, God, don't let
this other language of mine
sound its death knell.

(from the video)
Synnyin kahteen kieleen
Isä ei sanonut mitään
kun opettelin koulussa äitini latvian kielellä
taivuttamaan saksaa ja venäjää
ja paikallista murretta.

Kieli, jonka isäni antoi -
liivin kieli, soi hautausmaan kellossa;
korvani avautuivat liian myöhään
aloin puhua liivin kieltä hiekanjyvien kanssa,
ajelehtivien pilvien kanssa,
näkinkenkien kanssa,
meren pohjan kivien kanssa,
kuolleissa kylissä katajien kanssa.

Anna anteeksi, meri,
nyt saat huolehtia itsestäsi,
jumalat heittävät arpaa.
Ja älä anna, Jumala,
tuon toisen kieleni
vain hautausmaan kellossa soida.

Kétnyelvűnek születtem én.
Apám mit sem mondott róla,
s a padban szépen tanultam
anyám adta lett nyelvemet,
német és orosz énemet,
kavargó táji színeket.

Ám a nyelv, mit apám adott –
a lív gyászharangban kongott;
későn ébredtem füleim,
lívem a homoknak dalolom,
fürge felhőknek,
kagylók héjának,
dűnékbe bújt kavicsnak,
holt falvak borókáinak.

És most, tenger, bocsáss meg nekem,
s a végzettől óvd meg magad,
uraink kockát vetnek itt.
És ne engedd, óh Istenünk,
még, hogy nyelvünk
temetőnk harangját kondítsa.
