Translation of the song lyrics Durvis nav ciet - Ainars Mielavs, Pārcēlāji

Durvis nav ciet (original)

Kur Dieva gani brauc džipos
Un avis no lapiņām dzied
Es arī uz gaismu sitos
Līdz sapratu — durvis nav ciet
Es izgāju plašā jūrā
Ko citi par dīķi sauc
Un cerība pūta man burās
Lai atrastu vairāk par daudz
Smiltis, asaras, dubļi un pelni
Tukšu valodu nospiestais gars
Te mēs bijām mazi un melni
Te mēs esam tādi, kas var!
Kad vadoņi šāva no krasta
Ar skaudības lielgabaliem
Es mācījos labāk saprast
Kā dzīvot bez kompromisiem
Es paliku, stāvot kājās
Kad tiesneši sāka ļimt
Un vienmēr atgriezos mājās
Pie tevis — no jauna dzimt

Durvis nav ciet (translation)

Where God's shepherds ride in jeeps
And the sheep from the leaves sing
I'll hit the light too
Until I realized the door wasn't closed
I went out into the wide sea
What others call a pond
And hope blew in my sails
To find more than much
Sand, tears, mud and ash
The oppressed spirit of empty languages
Here we were small and black
Here we are those who can!
When the leaders fired from the shore
With envy cannons
I learned to understand better
How to live without compromise
I remained standing
When the judges started gluing
And always came home
To you - to be born again
