Paroles et traduction Turaidas Roze - 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 the other side,
Where evening is morning,
Where a bloated mosquito blows a trumpet
And elephants squeak?

Who lives on the other side,
Where the ocean recedes,
Where roots are planted in the air,
But bulbs in the ground?

Who lives on the other side,
Where a ship plows furrows
And a tractor stands at anchor
In summer this winter?

Who lives on the other side,
Where airplanes crawl,
Where snails are given wings,
So that they can race through the air?

Who lives on the other side,
Where shoes are worn on the head,
Where the forbidden is permitted,
Where silence is called out?

Who lives on the other side,
Where mouths are put in fingers,
Where the healthy lie in bed,
Where the sick topple mountains?

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

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

I don't know, I don't know,
I might be wrong,
But don't you think, my friend,
That it could be like that?
