Paroles et traduction Detlef - Pat tad, ja cenšos

Pat tad, ja cenšos

Izdomā tu manā
Vietā tādu stāju,
It kā būtu tevi nodevis
Jau tad, kad gāju
Nest tev dažas puķes,
Kaklarotas tādas,
Kuras, manā izpratnē,
Bija tiešām ļoti dārgas.

Paldies par visu.
Paldies!

Arī manas rokas nesasiet
Ar vārdiem par mani.
Bet arī manas domas neaizskrien
Tālāk par tevi –

Pat tad, ja cenšos.

Vienu rītu vēlāk
Piecēlos es agrāk.
Ieraudzīju sevi spogulī
Un teicu: kas
Noticis ar mani?
Kādēļ tu tā dari –
Savu naidu izliec
Tikai – vienīgi! – uz mani?

Šis ir rīts bez tevis
Sagaidīts, un nevis
Nodzīvots ar mani,
Kā to gribējām mēs abi,

Even then, I'm trying

Conjure up for me
A pose in my place,
As if I had betrayed you
Even when I went
To bring you some flowers,
Such necklaces,
Which, to my understanding,
Were really very expensive.

Thank you for everything.
Thanks!

Don't tie my hands either
With words about me.
But also my thoughts do not run away
Further than you –

Even when I'm trying.

One morning later
I got up earlier.
I saw myself in the mirror
And said: what
Has happened to me?
Why are you doing this –
Putting your hatred
Only – only! – on me?

This is a morning without you
Expected, but not
Spent with me,
As we both wanted it,
