Lyrics and translation Turaidas Roze - Kas Dzīvo Tanī Pusē




Kas Dzīvo Tanī Pusē
Who Lives on the Other Side
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Who lives on the other side,
Kur vakarā ir rīts,
Where evening is morning,
Kur piepūsts ods pūš tauri
Where a bloated mosquito blows a trumpet
Un ziloņi kur sīc?
And elephants squeak?
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Who lives on the other side,
Kur jūrā paisums plok,
Where the ocean recedes,
Kur saknes stāda gaisā,
Where roots are planted in the air,
Bet asnus zemē rok?
But bulbs in the ground?
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Who lives on the other side,
Kur kuģis vagu ar
Where a ship plows furrows
Un traktors stāv uz enkura
And a tractor stands at anchor
Pa ziemu šovasar?
In summer this winter?
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Who lives on the other side,
Kur lidmašīnas lien,
Where airplanes crawl,
Kur gliemežiem liek spārnus,
Where snails are given wings,
Lai tie pa gaisu skrien?
So that they can race through the air?
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Who lives on the other side,
Kur kurpes galvā mauc,
Where shoes are worn on the head,
Kur neatļauts ir atļauts,
Where the forbidden is permitted,
Kur klusēdami sauc?
Where silence is called out?
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Who lives on the other side,
Kur muti pirkstā bāž,
Where mouths are put in fingers,
Kur veselie guļ gultās,
Where the healthy lie in bed,
Kur slimie kalnus gāž?
Where the sick topple mountains?
Kur sekunde var gaidīt,
Where a second can wait,
Bet gaidi - ai, zib,
But wait - oh, how it flashes,
Kur muzikanti nespēlē,
Where musicians don't play,
Kad daudzi dancot grib?
When many want to dance?
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Who lives on the other side,
Kur vilki vaid un blēj,
Where wolves wail and bleat,
Kur jāsmejas, kad jāraud,
Where you must laugh when you cry,
Kur nepļauj to, ko sēj?
Where you don't reap what you sow?
Es nezinu, es nezinu,
I don't know, I don't know,
Es kļūdīšos varbūt,
I might be wrong,
Bet vai tev, draudziņ, nešķiet,
But don't you think, my friend,
var arī būt?
That it could be like that?
