Nenopūt sveci

Nenopūt šonakt sveci, esi tik labs.
Lai deg, lai izdeg līdz galam,
Varbūt tad naktis, atkal naktis kāps.
Ausmā pasmaidīs rīts kā jūrā sala.

Cik gan ilgi tā cilvēks var bezmiegu brist,

And gently strokes your tired legs
Grass, grass, grass,
Gently strokes the grass, grass, grass, grass.

Don't blow out the candle tonight, let it go.
Let your window sink into darkness
Invisible, invisible.
Then finally the path to you will be lost.
Peace will enter the weary house,
The weary house, the weary ...
