Paroles et traduction Aino Bāliņa - Lelle

Lelle

Man jau bērnībā
Draugi teica tā:
"Esi gluži kā lelle."
Mātes vārdi man
Pat vēl šodien skan:
"Esi brīnišķa lelle."
Bet šie vārdi mani baida,
Es no tevis citus gaidu.
Teic: "Esi mīļa man tu."
Bet tu bieži vien
Raugies kā neviens
"Esi burvīga lelle."
Pats tu arī tā
Laikam nodomā:
"Esi laimīga lelle."
Bet ja krūtis manu sirdi
īsti mīla nesadzirdī,
Tad labāk nenāc nekad.
Blakus tev arvien
Es būšu pasaulē.
Mīļa, laba tev
Dzīvē būšu tikai ne lelle vien.
Nē, nē.
Nē, nē.
Visur es labprāt
Gribu būt tev klāt,
Ne jau rotaļu lelle.
Sirds man bēdās jūt,
Sirds var jautrā būt,
Ne jau nedzīva lelle.
Bet ja tu to nesajūti,
Ja tev tikai akmens krūtīs,
Tad laimi negūt nekad.
Blakus tev arvien
Es būšu pasaulē.
Mīļa, laba tev dzīvē būšu,
Tikai ne lelle vien.
Nē, nē.
Nē, nē.
Tikai ne lelle...
Tikai ne lelle...
Tikai ne lelle...
Tikai ne lelle...

Doll

In my childhood
Friends used to tell me:
"You're just like a doll."
My mother's words to me
Still ring today:
"You're a beautiful doll."
But these words scare me,
I expect different from you.
Say, "You're dear to me."
But you often
Stare like no one else
"You're a charming doll."
You yourself, too
Probably think:
"You're a happy doll."
But if your chest
Doesn't hear my heart's true love,
Then better never come.
Beside you, always
I'll exist in the world.
Sweet and good to you
In life I'll be more than just a doll.
No, no.
No, no.
Everywhere I gladly
Want to be with you,
Not just a toy doll.
My heart feels sorrow,
My heart can be joyful,
Not just a lifeless doll.
But if you don't feel it,
If you have only a stone in your chest,
Then you'll never find happiness.
Beside you, always
I'll exist in the world.
Sweet and good to you in life I'll be,
But just not a doll.
No, no.
No, no.
Just not a doll...
Just not a doll...
Just not a doll...
Just not a doll...
