Paroles et traduction Raimonds Pauls feat. Imants Skrastiņš - Es Mīlu Tevi Tā

Es Mīlu Tevi Tā

Es mīlu tevi tā kā priede aug-
Tik neatturami, tik mierīgi un klusi,
Pār meža smalksni galvu pacēlusi,
Uz pašu sauli jauna priede aug.

Tu vari brūces viņas miesā cirst,
Un karstām lāsēm koka asins strāvos,
Bet drīz pār rētu sveķu bruņas blāvos,
Jo velti priedes mizā brūces cirst.

Viss sīko sāpju mēmais rūgtums gaist
Pret dzīvības un augsmes skaudro prieku.
Kad priedes galotne ar sauli rītos tiekas,
Viss sīko sāpju mēmais rūgtums gaist.

Tu sakies mani nesaprotam, draugs!
Kļauj vaigu priedei augošai, līdz dzirdi,
Un uzklausi līdz galam viņas sirdi!
Es mīlu tevi tā kā priede aug.

Es mīlu tevi tā kā priede aug-
Tik neatturami, tik mierīgi un klusi,
Pār meža smalksni galvu pacēlusi.
Uz pašu sauli jauna priede aug.

Tu vari brūces viņas miesā cirst,
Un karstām lāsēm koka asins strāvos,
Bet drīz pār rētu sveķu bruņas blāvos,
Jo velti priedes mizā brūces cirst.

I Love You Like That

I love you as a pine tree grows,
So relentlessly, so calmly and quietly,
Its head raised above the forest's fine dust,
Towards the very sun, a new pine tree grows.

You can inflict wounds on its flesh,
And the tree's blood will flow in hot drops,
But soon, over the scar, a pale armor of resin,
For wounds in the pine's bark are futile.

All the mute bitterness of petty pains vanishes
Against the fierce joy of life and growth.
When the pine tree's crown meets the sun in the morning,
All the mute bitterness of petty pains vanishes.

You say you don't understand me, my friend!
Caress the growing pine, until you hear it,
And listen till the end to its heart!
I love you as a pine tree grows.

I love you as a pine tree grows,
So relentlessly, so calmly and quietly,
Its head raised above the forest's fine dust.
Towards the very sun, a new pine tree grows.

You can inflict wounds on its flesh,
And the tree's blood will flow in hot drops,
But soon, over the scar, a pale armor of resin,
For wounds in the pine's bark are futile.
