Текст и перевод песни Kaspars Dimiters - Vecis Un Buldozers

Vecis Un Buldozers

Viņš teica: pēdējais sprādziens jau ir bijis
Un apklusa galvu noliecot klusi
Viņš zināja – mēs nekad vairs nesanāksim kopā
Jo izklīstam katrs uz savu pusi

Viņš teica: te vēl gadsimtu būs kā muzejs
Un uzkodu norijis nopūtās smagi
Viņš zināja – cilvēki drīz nepazīs viens otru
Un izdzīvojušajiem būs lauvas nagi

Viņš teica: arī tos dažus samaitās gudrie
Un avīzi atdeva izlasīt vējam
Viņš zināja – savējiem atlikusi tikai šodiena
Jo rītdiena jau pieder pavedējam

Viņš teica: resursu pietiks tiks nepietiks laimes
Un zīdainim pasvieda saplosīt pasi
Viņš zināja – pilsonība ir fetišs
Un tas bērns būs narkomāns ar visu klasi

Viņš teica: tev mana mīļotā nu labāk viss redzams
Uz tavu nemirstību kā vienmēr es dzeru
Viņš zināja – dzīvie paši sev ir pieminekļi
Un iebrauca kapos ar buldozeru

Viņš teica: aizvien līdzīgāk te vīteros putni
Un degvielu iegūs uz planētas citas
Viņš zināja – nafta un patiesība drīz beigsies
Sirds jau no bailēm un inerces sitas

Viņš teica: tu smietos par mani ja būtu dzīva
Un mīļotās eņģelim uzsmaidīja
Viņš zināja – policists kas tikko iešāva viņam
Nekas vairāk – tikai cilvēks bija

Viņš teica: redzi policist es tagad mirstu...
Un pievēris plakstus gaismai ļāvās:
Tu nebiji nekas – nu mirkli biji kā Dievs
Mana dzīvība bija rokās tavās

Viņš apklusa – policists vēl taustīja pulsu
Neko nesapratis no veča runas glupās
Bet buldozers vientuļi devās tālāk
Pārvērst visu bijušo drupās

Old Man and the Bulldozer

He said: the last explosion has already been
And quietly bowed his head
He knew – we will never meet again
For we are spreading out each to his own way

He said: this will be a museum for centuries
And sighed heavily after he swallowed a snack
He knew – people will soon not recognize each other
And the survivors will have the claws of a lion

He said: wise men will spoil even those few
And handed the newspaper to the wind to read
He knew – his own people only have today left
Because tomorrow already belongs to the puppeteer

He said: there will be enough resources, but not enough happiness
And threw a passport to the baby to tear apart
He knew – citizenship is a fetish
And that child will be a drug addict with a whole class

He said: my love, now you can see everything better
To your immortality, as always, I drink
He knew – the living are monuments to themselves
And drove into the cemetery with a bulldozer

He said: the birds are becoming more and more similar in their calls
And they will get fuel from other planets
He knew – oil and truth will soon run out
Heart beats from fear and inertia

He said: you would laugh at me if you were alive
And smiled at the angel of his beloved
He knew – the policeman who had just shot him
Was nothing more - just a human being

He said: see policeman I'm dying now...
And closed his eyelids, surrendering to the light:
You were nothing - now for a moment you were like God
My life was in your hands

He fell silent - the policeman was still feeling his pulse
Not understanding anything of the old man's foolish speech
But the bulldozer went on alone
To turn everything that had been into ruins
