Paroles et traduction Raimonds Pauls feat. Viktors Lapčenoks - Cielava

Cielava

Savu meiteni es saucu par cielavu,
Jo viņai bija spārni.
Vismaz man tā likās.
Bet tad ...

Rīt viņa nāks -
Es naivi savam slieksnim meloju.
Rīt viņa nāks,
Bet atbild slieksnis auksts.

Vējš viņu sauks,
Vējš viņas gaišu vārdu nesīs.
Un jumtos putni teiks,
Cik viegli spārni tai -
Smejošai, skrejošai cielavai.

Sauc saukdams mājās cielavu
Vēl kamēr vakars, saule spīd.
Bet vēji atbild –
Akmenī, slēp savas acis akmenī.

Kāds dīvains laiks -
Es naktī saku savai pilsētai.
Birst zemes miers,
Bet mana roka salst.

Un vēji nes
Man acīs vakardienas pelnus.
Kāds dīvains mierīgs laiks.
Uz mūžiem pieder tai -
Smejošai, skrejošai cielavai.

Sauc saukdams mājās cielavu
Vēl kamēr vakars, saule spīd.
Bet vēji atbild –
Akmenī, slēp savas acis akmenī.

Savu meiteni es saucu par cielavu,
Jo viņai bija spārni.
Vismaz man tā likās.
Bet tie ar spārniem,
Tie dzīvo ļoti ātri.

Sky

I call my girl the sky,
Because she had wings.
At least that's what it seemed to me.
But then ...

Tomorrow she will come -
I naively lie to my threshold.
Tomorrow she will come,
But the cold doorstep answers.

The wind will call her,
The wind will carry her bright name.
And in the rooftops, the birds will say,
How light her wings are -
Laughing, running sky.

Calling, calling the sky home
While the sun still shines.
But the winds answer –
Hide your eyes in stone, in stone.

What a strange time -
I say to my city at night.
Earthly peace falls,
But my hand is freezing.

And the winds carry
Yesterday's ashes into my eyes.
What a strangely peaceful time.
Belongs to her forever -
Laughing, running sky.

Calling, calling the sky home
While the sun still shines.
But the winds answer –
Hide your eyes in stone, in stone.

I call my girl the sky,
Because she had wings.
At least that's what it seemed to me.
But those with wings,
They live very fast.
