Lyrics and translation Raimonds Pauls feat. Nora Bumbiere & Viktors Lapčenoks - Tā Diena




Tā Diena
That Day
aiziet dienas labākās,
The best days thus pass by,
aiziet pašas sliktākās,
The worst days also go by,
Bet kāpēc jānožēlo tā,
But why should I regret them,
Ja reiz būs diena, ko negaidu es,
If once it will be that day that I do not wait for,
diena, ko negaidu es.
That day that I do not wait for.
diena mirstamdiena būs,
That day will be my death day,
Kad jaunas meitas vecas kļūs,
When young maidens will become old,
Kad ienaidnieki prieku gūs
When enemies will rejoice
Tajā dienā, tai dienā, ko negaidu es,
That day, that day that I do not wait for,
Tai dienā, ko negaidu es.
That day that I do not wait for.
diena klusa, klusa būs, jā, klusa gan,
That day will be quiet, quiet, yes, quiet indeed,
Jo tikai tukša, tukša muca tālu skan.
For only an empty, empty barrel sounds from afar.
Tai dienā, kad es došos dusēt, dusēt,
That day, when I go to sleep, to sleep,
Jums būs klusēt, jums būs klusēt,
You will have to be silent, you will have to be silent,
Jums būs klusēt, jā.
You will have to be silent, yes.
Lai, draugi, šodien mēs cits citu nebaidām
So, my friends, today let us not frighten each other
diena atnāks pati, ko mēs negaidām.
That day will come itself, which we do not expect.
Lai atminam tik to, ka pārāk ilgi
Let us only remember that for too long
Tukša muca, tukša muca,
An empty barrel, an empty barrel,
Tukša muca skan.
An empty barrel sounds.
Tai dienā, kad es dzisīšu,
That day, when I will die,
Uz sliedēm tramvajs apstāsies,
The tram will stop on the rails,
Bet kāpēc jākustina tas,
But why should it move,
Ja reiz tas būs tas tramvajs, ko negaidu es,
If once it will be that tram which I do not wait for,
Tas tramvajs, ko negaidu es.
That tram that I do not wait for.
Tas tramvajs tukšs un vientuļš būs,
That tram will be empty and lonely,
Tas vecu meitu tramvajs būs,
That will be the tram of old maids,
Tra tra tra tra tra tramvajs būs
Tra tra tra tra tra tram will be
Tajā dienā, tai dienā, ko negaidu es,
That day, that day that I do not wait for,
Tai dienā, ko negaidu es.
That day that I do not wait for.
diena klusa, klusa būs, jā, klusa gan,
That day will be quiet, quiet, yes, quiet indeed,
Jo tikai tukša, tukša muca tālu skan.
For only an empty, empty barrel sounds from afar.
Tai dienā, kad es došos dusēt, dusēt,
That day, when I go to sleep, to sleep,
Jums būs klusēt, jums būs klusēt,
You will have to be silent, you will have to be silent,
Jums būs klusēt, jā.
You will have to be silent, yes.
