Paroles et traduction Knīpas un Knauķi - Bēdas

Bēdas

Es bēdājos par putnu
Kas nevar augstu lidot
Jo saplēsis tas spārnu
No koka zara krītot

Es bēdājos par kaķi
Kas neatrada mājas
Par katru mazo draugu
Kam tajās slikti klājas

Es bēdājos par lapu
Kas nokrīt prom no zara
Un paliek zemē dusēt
Līdz nākamam pavasarim

Es bēdājos par rītu
Kad saule nespīd logā
Par darbu neizdarītu
Par iztrūkušām pogām

Es bēdājos par bēdu
Kas dziļi sirdī snauž
Un katru brīvu brīdi
Pārmetumus auž

Bet, tad kādu rītu
Es bēdas projām raidu
Un ar prieku sirdī
Jaunu dienu gaidu

Sorrows

I sorrow for the bird, my love,
That cannot fly up high,
Its wing is torn, you see,
From falling from a branch so free.

I sorrow for the cat so small,
That couldn't find a home at all,
For every little friend in need,
Whose life is hard indeed.

I sorrow for the leaf so frail,
That falls down from the branch's tail,
And lies upon the ground to sleep,
Until the spring comes to peep.

I sorrow for the morning light,
When sun doesn't shine in sight,
For work that's left undone, you know,
For buttons missing, oh!

I sorrow for the sorrow deep,
That in my heart does softly sleep,
And every moment it is free,
It weaves reproaches, just for me.

But then one morning, bright and new,
My sorrows I will bid adieu,
And with a joyful heart and light,
A new day I will greet with might.
