Lyrics and translation Jauns Mēness - Oga saldā, oga sūrā

Oga saldā, oga sūrā

Kur Tu skriesi, vanadziņ'i
Tukšām, caurām kabatām?
Galdi klāti, kausi pilni -
Kā tad tā, bez atvadām!
Neba meitas gana skaistas,
Neba draugi ubagos.
Ko teiks tā, kas Tevi gaida-
Paželos vai izlingos?

Vai Tu zini, kur Tu dzīvo
Zini, vai kā Tevi sauc?
Ceļa radītāji plīvo,
Lūko, puses nesajauc!
Spogulis ir tur aiz stura
Nosvidis kā licinieks.
Oga saldā, oga sūrā-
Kuru roku? Izvēlies!
Vai labo!
Vai kreiso?
Abas divas neparko!

Vienu dienu, vienu mūžu,
Vēl vien' reizi vienīgo!
Tavu noplakušo dūšu
Lai nāk kāds un salabo!
Spogulis ir tur aiz stura
Nosvidis kā licinieks.
Oga saldā, oga sūrā-
Kuru roku? Izvēlies!
Vai labo!
Vai kreiso?
Abas divas neparko!
Vai labo!
Vai kreiso?
Abas divas neparko!

Sweet Berry, Sour Berry

Where will you go, my little hawk
With your pockets empty and torn?
The table is set, and the cups are full
Why must you depart with no farewell?
Are there no beautiful maidens here,
Or are your friends all paupers?
What will she say, the one who waits for you
Will she lament or become angry?

Do you know where you live,
Or even your own name?
Your pathfinders are wavering,
Be careful not to get lost!
The mirror is there around the corner,
Sweating like witness.
Sweet berry, sour berry
Which hand? Make your choice!
The right
Or the left?
Do not choose both!

One day, one lifetime,
Just this one last time!
Your withering soul,
May someone come and mend it!
The mirror is there around the corner,
Sweating like witness.
Sweet berry, sour berry
Which hand? Make your choice!
The right
Or the left?
Do not choose both!
The right
Or the left?
Do not choose both!
