Текст и перевод песни Prāta Vētra - Starp citu

Starp citu

Man nebija vaļas
Man nebija
Es pats sev pasaule šķitu
Un pieskāros pasaulei tikai tāpat
Starp citu
Starp citu
Starp citu

Bet pasaule kļuva zvērīga
Un kad tā man iecirtās kaklā
Es sajutu, cik tā vērtīga
Un cik mana acs ir akla
Cik akla
Cik akla

Un tagad milzīga saule
Kā citam nevienam kvēlo
Tik tiem, kuri neskatās atpakaļ
Un kuri nenožēlo

Kad mani garāmejošas
Ķetnas mina
Un kad es, izplezdams rokas,
Kritu
Es sapratu – pasaule neatriebj
Tikai par sevi tā atgādina

(Starp citu)
Un tagad milzīga saule
(Starp citu)
Kā citam nevienam kvēlo
(Starp citu)
Tik tiem, kuri neskatās atpakaļ
(Starp citu)
Un kuri nenožēlo

Un tagad milzīga saule
Kā citam nevienam kvēlo
Tik tiem, kuri neskatās atpakaļ
Un kuri nenožēlo

Te nu stāv vaļā pastiepta roka
Ko tā neprot, ko prot
Prot latviski rakstīt, neprot ubagot
Te nu stāv vaļā pastiepta roka
Tā kā salā trīc
Tai viss ir iedots, nekas nav apsolīts

In Passing

I didn't have time
I didn't
I thought I was the world to myself
And I only touched the world like that
In passing
In passing
In passing

But the world became a beast
And when it sank its teeth into my neck
I felt how precious it was
And how blind my eyes were
How blind
How blind

And now a giant sun
Glows like no other
Only for those who don't look back
And who don't regret

When passing by
Chains haunt me
And when I, with open arms,
Fall
I understand – the world doesn't avenge
It only reminds me of itself

(In passing)
And now a giant sun
(In passing)
Glows like no other
(In passing)
Only for those who don't look back
(In passing)
And who don't regret

And now a giant sun
Glows like no other
Only for those who don't look back
And who don't regret

Here stands an open outstretched hand
What it can't do, what it can
Can write in Latvian, can't beg
Here stands an open outstretched hand
As it shivers on an island
Everything is given to it, nothing is promised
