Lyrics and translation Raimonds Pauls feat. Nora Bumbiere & Viktors Lapčenoks - Pāri Dzelmei




Pāri Dzelmei
Across the Daugava
Melnai dzelmei pāri līgodams,
Across the dark Daugava, a covenant,
Mūžs saule aiztek spīgodams,
Life rises, a radiant sun,
stikla pūtējs liktens dzīvi pūš
Like a glassblower, fate blows life
Cauri ēnu spēlēm līganām.
Through the gentle play of shadows.
Vai tas stikla pūtējs
Is this glassblower
Nav mans vecaistēvs
Not my grandfather
Pašā vidū liesmu spīganām.
In the midst of the radiant flames.
Mēmo stundu pārcērt stīgojot,
The mute hours are cut by the strings,
Tēvs man kādreiz teica ģīgojot,
My father once told me mockingly,
Viltus spēli melnu glaimu vēji auž,
A false game of flattery is woven by the winds,
Ierauj dzelmē tevi tīkojot.
Luring you into the depths.
Kam ir rokās stīgas,
Who holds the strings in his hands,
Ko reiz devis tēvs,
Which my father once gave,
Tas virs dzelmes līgo ģīgodams.
He plays the fiddle above the depths.
