Текст и перевод песни Edgars Liepiņš - Ja Es Būtu Bagāts Vīrs

Ja Es Būtu Bagāts Vīrs

Ja es būtu bagāts vīrs bagāts vīrs bagāts vīrs
Tad es būtu varens vīrs pateišām vīrs
Tad man būtu limuzīns limuzīns limuzīns
Un kā starutiņš tecētu man saldais brandavīns

Diemžēl no tā man nav it nekā
Diemžēl no tā man nav nekā
Kur visu pērk un pārdod ikviens
Man ķešā bads un īlodz vien

Ja es būtu bagāts vīrs bagāts vīrs bagāts vīrs
Tad es būtu goda vīrs viens riktīgs goda vīrs
Tad man būtu namiņš dārgs namiņš dārgs namiņš dārgs
Spieķis fraka cilindris un melnais lietussargs

Diemžēl no tā man nav it nekā
Diemžēl no tā man nav nekā
Kur visu pērk un pārdod ikviens
Man ķešā bads un īlodz vien

Ja es būtu bagāts vīrs bagāts vīrs bagāts vīrs
Tad no visiem grēciņiem es tiešām būtu tīrs
Tad man būtu sievu daudz sievu daudz sievu daudz
Kā tam turku sultānam kam visur valdīt ļauts

Diemžēl no tā man nav it nekā
Diemžēl no tā man nav nekā
Kur visu pērk un pārdod ikviens
Man ķešā bads un īlodz vien

Ja es būtu bagāts vīrs bagāts vīrs bagāts vīrs
Tad es būtu lustīgs vīrs patiešām lustīgs vīrs
Tad gan plūstu alutiņš alutiņš alutiņš
Un pa klēpi spārdītos man lustīgs meitēniņš

Diemžēl no tā man nav it nekā
Diemžēl no tā man nav nekā
Kur visu pērk un pārdod ikviens
Man ķešā bads un īlodz vien

Ja es būtu bagāts vīrs bagāts vīrs bagāts vīrs
Tad es būtu varens vīrs patiešām varens vīrs
Tad man būtu limuzīns limuzīns limuzīns
Un kā starutiņš tecētu man saldais brandavīns

If I Were a Rich Man

If I were a wealthy man, wealthy man, wealthy man
Then I would be a mighty man, a real man
Then I would have a limousine, limousine, limousine
And sweet brandy would flow like a starlet for me

Unfortunately, I have none of that
Unfortunately, I have none of that
Where everything is bought and sold by everyone
My wallet is empty, and I only have an awl

If I were a wealthy man, wealthy man, wealthy man
Then I would be an honorable man, a truly honorable man
Then I would have an expensive house, an expensive house, an expensive house
A cane, a tailcoat, a top hat, and a black umbrella

Unfortunately, I have none of that
Unfortunately, I have none of that
Where everything is bought and sold by everyone
My wallet is empty, and I only have an awl

If I were a wealthy man, wealthy man, wealthy man
Then I would be pure of all sins, truly pure
Then I would have many wives, many wives, many wives
Like the Turkish sultan who is allowed to rule everywhere

Unfortunately, I have none of that
Unfortunately, I have none of that
Where everything is bought and sold by everyone
My wallet is empty, and I only have an awl

If I were a wealthy man, wealthy man, wealthy man
Then I would be a merry man, a truly merry man
Then beer would flow, beer, beer, beer
And a merry little girl would be kicking me in the lap

Unfortunately, I have none of that
Unfortunately, I have none of that
Where everything is bought and sold by everyone
My wallet is empty, and I only have an awl

If I were a wealthy man, wealthy man, wealthy man
Then I would be a mighty man, a truly mighty man
Then I would have a limousine, limousine, limousine
And sweet brandy would flow like a starlet for me
