Paroles et traduction Olga Rajecka - Kas Dzīvo Tanī Pusē

Kas Dzīvo Tanī Pusē

Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Kur vakarā ir rīts,
Kur piepūsts ods pūš tauri
Un ziloņi kur sīc?

Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Kur jūrā paisums plok,
Kur saknes stāda gaisā,
Bet asnus zemē rok?

Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Kur kuģis vagu ar
Un traktors stāv uz enkura
Pa ziemu šovasar?

Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Kur lidmašīnas lien,
Kur gliemežiem liek spārnus,
Lai tie pa gaisu skrien?

Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Kur kurpes galvā mauc,
Kur neatļauts ir atļauts,
Kur klusēdami sauc?

Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Kur muti pirkstā bāž,
Kur veselie guļ gultās,
Kur slimie kalnus gāž?

Kur sekunde var gaidīt,
Bet gaidi - ai, kā zib,
Kur muzikanti nespēlē,
Kad daudzi dancot grib?

Kas dzīvo tanī pusē,
Kur vilki vaid un blēj,
Kur jāsmejas, kad jāraud,
Kur nepļauj to, ko sēj?

Es nezinu, es nezinu,
Es kļūdīšos varbūt,
Bet vai tev, draudziņ, nešķiet,
Kā tā var arī būt?

Who Lives on the Other Side

Who lives on that side,
Where night becomes day,
Where an inflated gnat plays the trumpet
And elephants squeak?

Who lives on that side,
Where the sea swells flatten,
Where roots are planted in the air,
But peaks dug in the ground?

Who lives on that side,
Where the ship ploughs with a sail
And the tractor stands at anchor
In winter this summer?

Who lives on that side,
Where airplanes creep,
Where snails have wings,
So they can run through the air?

Who lives on that side,
Where shoes are worn on heads,
Where the forbidden is permitted,
Where they cry silently?

Who lives on that side,
Where you put your mouth in your finger,
Where the healthy lie in beds,
Where the sick knock down mountains?

Where a second can wait,
But wait - oh, how time flies,
Where musicians don't play,
When many want to dance?

Who lives on that side,
Where wolves bleat and wail,
Where you must laugh when you should cry,
Where you don't reap what you sow?

I don't know, I don't know,
I may be mistaken,
But don't you think, my dear,
That this could also be the case?
