Translation of the song lyrics Cik mēs viens par otru zinām - Aija Andrejeva

Cik mēs viens par otru zinām (original)

Cik mēs vien par otru zinām?
Maz, pavisam maz
It kā kopīgus svētkus svinam
It kā kopīgas darbadienas
Un tomēr — cik maz mēs zinām
Tiekamies kaut kur krustcelēs
Katrs savu kamolu tinam
Bet gudri, cik gudri mēs
Katrs savu olekti liekam
Otra dzīvei kā drēbei klāt
Un tad drausmīgi tiekam
Ka nav viss tā, bet ir citādāk
Uz izliekamies, ka pazīstam, zinām
Bet zinām tik maz, tik maz
It kā kopīgus svētkus svinam
It kā kopīgas darbadienas

Cik mēs viens par otru zinām (translation)

How much do we know about each other?
Little, very little
It's as if we celebrate a joint holiday
As if common working days
And yet, how little we know
See you somewhere at the crossroads
Everyone rolls their own ball
But smart, how smart we are
Everyone puts their elbow
The other lives like a garment
And then we meet terribly
That it's not like that, but it's different
We pretend to know, know
But we know so little, so little
It's as if we celebrate a joint holiday
As if common working days
