Lyrics and translation Liene Šomase - Mēs Jau Sen To Bijām Pelnījuši

Mēs Jau Sen To Bijām Pelnījuši

Kā tur bija, kā nebija
Bet sapnis bija tāds
Uz dzīvību un brīvību
Arvien vēl veda prāts

Bet nāca laiki citādi
Un plaukti pildījās
Arvien pie siles sasistas
Arvien kāds sildījās

Mēs jau sen to bijām pelnījuši Es un arī tu
Debess mannā piena upes Vairāk neko nezinu
Mēs jau sen to bijām pelnījuši Es un arī tu
Debess mannā piena upes Vairāk neko nezinu
Kā tur bija, kā nebija
Kā tur bija, kā nebija, Kas to zin
Kā tur bija kā nebija
Kur tas palika Tev tagad jāuzmin

Kā tur bija, kā nebija
Bet iznākums ir viens
Tie visi kuri melni bija
Nu balti ir kā piens
Jo nu ir laiki citādi
Un katram kaut kas tiek
Vien tiem kas rindā stāvēja
Nekā vairs nepaliek

Mēs jau sen to bijām pelnījuši Es un arī tu
Debess mannā piena upes Vairāk neko nezinu
Mēs jau sen to bijām pelnījuši Es un arī tu
Debess mannā piena upes Vairāk neko nezinu
Kā tur bija, kā nebija
Kā tur bija, kā nebija, kas to zin
Kā tur bija, kā nebija
Kur tas palika tev tagad jāuzmin

Kā tur bija, kā nebija
Viens likums visiem vārgs
Bet tikmēr uzplaukst jūrmala
Un zaļo meža parks

Jo katram kaut kas pienākas
Kad sasists zelta pods
Kas vienam ir kā dāvana
Tas citam Dieva sods

Mēs jau sen to bijām pelnījuši Es un arī tu
Debess mannā piena upes Vairāk neko nezinu
Mēs jau sen to bijām pelnījuši Es un arī tu
Debess mannā piena upes Vairāk neko nezinu
Kā tur bija, kā nebija
Kā tur bija, kā nebija, kas to zin
Kā tur bija, kā nebija
Kur tas palika, tev tagad jāuzmin

We deserved it long ago

How it was, how it was not
But the dream was like that
Life and freedom
The mind still led

But times came differently
And the shelves were filled
Always hitting the trough
Always someone was warming up

We deserved it long ago, me and you, lady
Heavenly manna, rivers of milk, That's all I know
We deserved it long ago, me and you, lady
Heavenly manna, rivers of milk, That's all I know
How it was, how it was not
How it was, how it was not, Who knows
How it was, how it was not
Where it went, you have to guess now

How it was, how it was not
But the outcome is one
All those who were black
Now they are white as milk
Because now times are different
And everyone gets something
Only those who stood in line
There is nothing left

We deserved it long ago, me and you, lady
Heavenly manna, rivers of milk, That's all I know
We deserved it long ago, me and you, lady
Heavenly manna, rivers of milk, That's all I know
How it was, how it was not
How it was, how it was not, who knows
How it was, how it was not
Where it went, you have to guess now

How it was, how it was not
One law for all is weak
But in the meantime, the seaside is flourishing
And the forest park is green

Because everyone deserves something
When a golden pot is smashed
What is a gift to one
It is God's punishment for another

We deserved it long ago, me and you, lady
Heavenly manna, rivers of milk, That's all I know
We deserved it long ago, me and you, lady
Heavenly manna, rivers of milk, That's all I know
How it was, how it was not
How it was, how it was not, who knows
How it was, how it was not
Where it went, you have to guess now
