Lyrics and translation Zigfrīds Muktupāvels - Ver Durvis Klusāk

Ver Durvis Klusāk

Ver durvis klusāk ciet, lai nesatrūkstas miers,
Kas gurdos plakstus dus jau stundām ilgi.
Kā sirdi nomāc sāpju smagums liels,
Tā domas slāpē nebūtības migla.

Pār galvu tumsas kapa smiltis brūk...
Kaut būtu ceļi vēl kā senāk vaļā-
Es laukā izietu pret rītiem sauli lūgt,
Lai mirkli ļauj vēl pabūt zemē zaļā.

Ver durvis klusāk ciet un nejautā vairs man,
Aiz kura zemes raga grima sapņu barka.
Daudz dzirdēts jau, kā trūkstot stīgas skan, -
Bet dzīves vekselim cik jāliek zīmogmarka?

Pār galvu tumsas kapa smiltis brūk...
Kaut būtu ceļi vēl kā senāk vaļā
Es laukā izietu pret rītiem sauli lūgt,
Lai mirkli ļauj vēl pabūt zemē zaļā.

Ver durvis klusāk ciet un nejautā vairs man,
Ver durvis klusāk ciet un nejautā vairs man,

Close the Door More Quietly

Close the door more quietly, lest the peace shatter,
Which has been softly beating in my weary eyelids for hours.
As my heart is burdened by a great weight of pain,
So my thoughts are stifled by a fog of nothingness.

The sands of the grave of darkness fall over my head...
If only the paths were open, as they once were-
I would go outside to beg the sun for morning,
To allow me a moment more on this green earth.

Close the door more quietly and do not ask me anymore,
Behind which cape of the earth my dream boat sinks.
I have heard enough how a string sounds when it breaks,
But how many stamps do I need to put on the promissory note of life?

The sands of the grave of darkness fall over my head...
If only the paths were open, as they once were,
I would go outside to beg the sun for morning,
To allow me a moment more on this green earth.

Close the door more quietly and do not ask me anymore,
Close the door more quietly and do not ask me anymore,
