Pacel Savu Balsi

Tauta ar uguni uz mēles
Kas laizīs to roku, kas uz tās cukuru bērs
Kad dūmu mutuļi pār zemi sāk lukturus dzēst
Bez sāls uz mēles pašķīstam kā kurkuļi mēs
Mēs dziedam savas dziesmas, savu spēku un bēdas
Mēs dziedam savu prieku, savus grēkus un rētas
Dziedam sienas uz pusēm! Jā, ķieģeļu sienas!
Kāpēc lai mēs to nedarītu? Dod man iemeslu vienu...
Mēs ziemās dziedam, lai mums nesaltu
Mēs dzirdam, ka mums jāmostas,
Bet no mums vairums nesnauž... (no mums vairums nesnauž)
Gatavi pacelt balsis, kad tās nokrīt
Pa dubļiem izvazātas dzirdi balsis manā korī...

"Pietiek pelēt, jāsāk domāt
Pietiek kaukt, un jāiet sēt."
Lai pārbļautu lodes, kas cauršauj karogus
Lai pārtrauktu troksni, kas šausta manu valodu
Lai satricinātu saknes un koku galotnes
Nabagu mājas, bagātnieku mājas, lopu vagonus
Jo mūs joprojām biedē pātagu plīkšķi
Un varbūt tāpēc dziedam tikai kaut ko tādu, ko drīkst
Bet mūs pa īstam sadzird pārāk reti, lai ko spētu bilst
Tāpēc dziesmas reizē skan tik lepni, bet tik grēkpilni
Kur likt to visu, kad ir mērs pilns?
Kad iekšā nevis skaļi rūc, bet tikai lēni svilst?
Kad pār caurumiem sienās mēs karam svētbildes
Un vairums par to nevis kliedz, bet tikai mēdz bilst?

Pacel Savu Balsi

My dearest, a people with fire on their tongues
That licks the hand that sprinkles sugar upon it
When columns of smoke start to extinguish lights on the ground
Without salt on our tongues, we dissolve like tadpoles
We sing of our strength and our sorrows, our songs are our own
We sing our joy, our sins and our scars, they are all our own
We sing the walls in half! Yes, the brick walls!
Why shouldn't we? Give me a single reason...
We sing in the winter so that we won't freeze
We hear that we must awaken,
But most of us don't sleep... (most of us don't sleep)
Ready to raise our voices when they fall
Through the mud, I hear voices trampled in my choir...
Voices
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
"Stop being ashy, start thinking
Stop crying, and go sow."
To outshout the bullets that pierce flags
To stop the noise that plagues my language
To shake the roots and the treetops
The homes of the poor, the homes of the rich, the cattle cars
For the whip's crack still scares us
And maybe that's why we only sing things we're allowed to sing
But they seldom truly hear us, enough to make a difference
That's why the songs sound so proud and yet so sinful at the same time
Where can we put it all when the cup is full?
When inside, there's no loud rumble, but only a slow hiss?
When we hang holy pictures over the holes in the walls
And most people don't shout about it, but only tend to mumble?
Voices
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
Raise your voice. (Louder!)
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
Raise your voice
Raise your voice. (All together!)
Raise your voice
Raise...
Raise, raise...
