Lyrics and translation Raimonds Pauls feat. Nora Bumbiere & Viktors Lapčenoks - Mēmā Dziesma

Mēmā Dziesma

Pār mani mēma debess plešas,
Un mēma, mēma pļava zied.
Kāpēc es atkal esmu bešā,
Kāpēc man vajag tukšā iet?

Kāpēc man vajag iet un meklēt
To balsi, kura pelnos dun?
Klau, vēji maldās dziļi eglē,
Un vijole tur raud kā suns.

Ej un dedz,
Sadedz savu balsi meklējot.
Tikai savu balsi vienīgo,
Tikai savu balsi, balsi to.

Pār mani liecas mēmi zari.
Bet varbūt tās ir stabules,
Un es kā mēmais, es kā mēmais.
Bet ja nu jūra esmu es.

Un ja nu viss ir dzīvs un ziedošs,
Un pelnos vīru kori dun,
Un ja nu dvēsele dzied eglē,
Un savu likteni smilkst suns.

A Mute Song

Over me a mute sky stretches,
And a mute, mute meadow blooms.
Why am I in silence again,
Why do I have to walk into an abyss?

Why do I have to go and search
For that voice that hums in the ashes?
Listen, winds get lost deep in the spruce,
And a violin weeps there like a dog.

Go and burn,
Burn in search of your voice.
Only your own voice, the only one,
Only your voice, that voice.

Mute branches bend over me.
But maybe those are stalls,
And I am like a mute, like a mute.
But what if I am the sea.

And what if everything is alive and blooming,
And choirs of men hum in the ashes,
And what if a soul sings in the spruce,
And a dog whets its fate.
