Tāpēc Jau, Ka Nevar Zināt Kāpēc

Imants Ziedonis

Tāpēc jau ka nevar zināt kāpēc

Upē naktī pīles kliedz.
Un tu arī neiemiedz!
Tāpēc jau, ka nevar zināt, kāpēc.
Varbūt, ka ir ņemts par daudz,
Varbūt, ka par maz ir ļauts,
Un varbūt par maz ir arī sāpēts.

Izeju no mājām kluss.
Zvaigznes spīd un dubļi dus,
Un var skaidri redzēt laimes naudu.
Tas nekas, ak, tas tik tā,
Tas tik tādā klusumā,
Tik no malas izliekas, ka raudu.

Tas nekas, ak, tas tik tā,
Tas tik tādā klusumā,
Tik no malas izliekas, ka raudu.
Tāpēc jau ka nevar zināt kāpēc
Un varbūt par maz ir arī sāpēts.

Upē naktī pīles kliedz.
Un tu arī neiemiedz!
Visur kaut kāds troksnis kluss un slāpēts.
Tas nekas, ak, tas tik tā,
Tas tik tādā klusumā,
Tāpēc jau, ka nevar zināt, kāpēc.

Tas nekas, ak, tas tik tā,
Tas tik tādā klusumā,
Tāpēc jau, ka nevar zināt, kāpēc.

That's Why You Can't Know Why

Imants Ziedonis

That's why you can't know why

Ducks in the river cry at night.
And you can't fall asleep either!
That's why you can't know why.
Maybe you've taken too much,
Maybe you've been let off too lightly,
And maybe you haven't been hurt enough.

I leave the house quietly.
The stars are shining and the mud is quiet,
And you can clearly see the money of happiness.
It's nothing, oh, it's just that,
It's only in such silence,
It only looks like I'm crying from the side.

It's nothing, oh, it's just that,
It's only in such silence,
It only looks like I'm crying from the side.
That's why you can't know why
And maybe you haven't been hurt enough.

Ducks in the river cry at night.
And you can't fall asleep either!
Everywhere some kind of noise is quiet and muffled.
It's nothing, oh, it's just that,
It's only in such silence,
That's why you can't know why.

It's nothing, oh, it's just that,
It's only in such silence,
That's why you can't know why.
