Текст и перевод песни Dons - Atbilde

Atbilde

Upes iztaisnoja
Salīkušos plecus,
Nospļāvās un teica:
Negribam vairs tecēt.

Lai tā jūra meklē
Citur savu sulu,
Mēs nu piecsimt gadu
Liksimies uz guļu.

Sastingušais ūdens
Sarūga par vīnu;
Kā to vērst par labu?
Kas tos vārdus zina?

Tev ir jāatbrīvo
Huanhe un Nīlu,
Tev man jāpasaka:
Ļoti, ļoti mīlu.

Response

The river straightened out
Its hunched shoulders,
Spat and said:
We don’t want to flow anymore.

Let the sea seek
Its moisture elsewhere,
For five hundred years now
We’ll lie in bed.

The frozen water
Turned into wine;
How to make that good?
Who knows the words for that?

You must free
The Huang He and the Nile,
You must tell me:
I love you very, very much.
