Текст и перевод песни Zodiaks - Māmuļai Latvijai

Māmuļai Latvijai

Tu pasmaidi ar skatu žēlu
Un acīs asaras tev mirdz.
Cik maz, cik maz ir īstu dēlu,
Kas tevi mīl no visas sirds.

Tu viņus kopi, audzināji
Un savā klēpī auklēji.
Un visi tavi spēki vāji
Bij viņiem, viņiem ģeldīgi.

Tu visu, visu, visu viņiem devi,
Kas tev bij' visu labākais.
Bet tie tik izmantot zin tevi
Un slepeni tev zārku tais', zārku tais'.

Tie tevi mīlē tik ar mēli,
Bet viņu sirds stāv tālu tev.
Tie spēlē zemu viltus spēli,
Lai tikai gūtu kaut ko sev.

Tiem viss vienalga, kā tev klājas:
Vai tevi cildina, vai peļ.
Ka tikai viņu makā krājas
Un viņu darījumi zeļ.

Tu visu, visu, visu viņiem devi,
Kas tev bij' visu labākais.
Bet tie tik izmantot zin tevi
Un slepeni tev zārku tais', zārku tais'.

Un ja tu arī bojā ietu
Un tevi kapā guldītu,
Uz kapa rastu viņi vietu,
Lai dzītu savu veikalu.

Mama for Latvia

You smile with a sad look
And tears glisten in your eyes.
How few, how few are the real sons,
Who love you with all their hearts?

You raised them, nurtured them,
And cradled them in your lap.
And all your strength was weak
For them, for them, it was valid.

You gave them everything, everything, everything,
That you had, the best.
But they only know how to use you
And secretly make your coffin, they make your coffin.

They love you only with their tongues,
But their hearts are far from you.
They play a low and treacherous game,
Just to gain something for themselves.

They don't care how you are:
Whether they praise you or scold you.
As long as their wallet grows
And their business flourishes.

You gave them everything, everything, everything,
That you had, the best.
But they only know how to use you
And secretly make your coffin, they make your coffin.

And if you should die
And be laid in the grave,
On your grave they would find a place,
To run their business.
