Lyrics and translation Raimonds Pauls feat. Jānis Paukštello - Cielaviņa




Cielaviņa
Little Lark
Ai, tēvu zeme stūru stūriem,
Oh, fatherland, from corner to corner,
Cik tuvs un pazīstams it viss:
How close and familiar it all is:
Gan Kolkas raga vēji sūrie,
Both the salty winds of Kolka Cape,
Gan leišu males debesis.
And the Lithuanian border skies.
Visapkārt zeme zied
All around the land blooms
zilis zieds un tik,
Like a blue flower, and so,
Tik neparasti viegli iet,
So unusually easy to walk,
Pat nedomājot, cik
Not even thinking, how much
Jau dzīvē nostaigāts,
Life has already walked,
Jo vēl aizvien, aizvien
Because still, always
Ik rītus Kurzeme
Every morning Kurzeme,
cielaviņa pretī skrien.
Like a little lark runs towards you.
mātei sejā visā raugos,
I look at my mother's face all around,
māte manī raugās viss:
As my mother looks at me in everything:
Gan staltais Gaiziņš rudzu laukos,
Both the stately Gaiziņš in the rye fields,
Gan bērzu birzīs Inesis.
And Inesis in the birch groves.
Visapkārt zeme zied
All around the land blooms
zilis zieds un tik,
Like a blue flower, and so,
Tik neparasti viegli iet,
So unusually easy to walk,
Pat nedomājot, cik
Not even thinking, how much
Jau dzīvē nostaigāts,
Life has already walked,
Jo vēl aizvien, aizvien
Because still, always
Ik rītus Vidzeme
Every morning Vidzeme,
cielaviņa pretī skrien.
Like a little lark runs towards you.
Var visu mūžu alkt un tiekties,
You may desire and strive all your life,
Vēl vienmēr aicinās it viss:
Everything always still beckons:
Gan Rāznas tāles neaizsniegtās,
Both the unattainable expanses of Rāzna,
Gan Mākoņkalna atbalsis.
And the echoes of Mākoņkalns.
Visapkārt zeme zied
All around the land blooms
zilis zieds un tik,
Like a blue flower, and so,
Tik neparasti viegli iet,
So unusually easy to walk,
Pat nedomājot, cik
Not even thinking, how much
Jau dzīvē nostaigāts,
Life has already walked,
Jo vēl aizvien, aizvien
Because still, always
Ik rītus Latgale
Every morning Latgale,
cielaviņa pretī skrien.
Like a little lark runs towards you.
