Lyrics and translation Nora Bumbiere - Papu, Saki Mammai Pats

Papu, Saki Mammai Pats

Klausies, meit, ko teikšu es.
Man viņš ļoti patīk, papucīt!
Vai viņš tevi mīlēt spēs?
Nē, viņš ļoti precēt grib - tūlīt.
Bet vai viņš tev īstais būs?
Papu, viņa dēļ vai mirstu nost!
Vai viņš arī cienīs mūs?
Papu, man ar tevi tīrais posts.

Klausies, meit, ko teikšu es.
Otra tāda nav vairs pasaulē.
Vai šis nemīl sīvo mest?
Papu, nedzer viņš un nepīpē.
Kur viņš mācās un kad beigs?
Ir jau diploms viņam kabatā.
Labi, bet ko māte teiks?
Ja es lūgšu, nebūs tā.

Papu, saki mammai pats, ...
Paklausies, meit', vai tev prāts,
Ej un runāt sāc!
Paklausies, meit', vai tev prāts,
Mani bailes māc.
Paklausies, meit', vai tev prāts,
Ej un runāt sāc!
Paklausies, meit', vai tev prāts,
Māte dusmās šņāc.

Klausies, meit, ko teikšu es.
Otra tāda nav vairs pasaulē.
Vai viņš nemīl sīvo mest?
Papu, nedzer viņš un nepīpē.
Kur viņš mācās un kad beigs?
Ir jau diploms viņam kabatā.
Labi, bet ko māte teiks?
Ja es lūgšu, nebūs tā.

Listen, Girl, to What I Say

Listen, girl, to what I say.
I like him very much, daddy!
Will he love you?
No, he wants to marry right away.
But will he be the right one for you?
Daddy, I'd die for him!
Will he also respect us?
Daddy, you're a pain in the neck.

Listen, girl, to what I say.
There's no other like him in the world.
Does he nag?
Daddy, he doesn't drink or smoke.
Where is he studying and when will he finish?
He already has his diploma in his pocket.
Okay, but what will your mother say?
If I ask her, she won't say no.

Daddy, tell mommy yourself, ...
Listen, girl, are you crazy,
Go and talk to her!
Listen, girl, are you crazy,
I'm scared.
Listen, girl, are you crazy,
Go and talk to her!
Listen, girl, are you crazy,
Your mother is furious.

Listen, girl, to what I say.
There's no other like him in the world.
Does he nag?
Daddy, he doesn't drink or smoke.
Where is he studying and when will he finish?
He already has his diploma in his pocket.
Okay, but what will your mother say?
If I ask her, she won't say no.
