| Varis (original) | Varis (translation) |
|---|---|
| Varis kāpa uz kuģa | Varis boarded the ship |
| Lai brauktu uz mājām | To drive home |
| Bet kapteiņa nava | But there was no captain |
| Un buras pie kājām | And sails at your feet |
| Un streipuļo kaijas | And streaking seagulls |
| Un karte peld jūrā | And the map floats in the sea |
| Jo smaidīgais junga | Because the smiling young man |
| Tik aplami stūrē | So wrong in steering |
| Masta strupajā galā | At the blunt end of the mast |
| Elma ugunis spīd | Elm's fire shines |
| Kravu rupjākais brezents | Cargo's coarsest tarpaulin |
| Izirst kā zīds | Sheds like silk |
| Bet Varim nav varas | But Var has no power |
| Un klases tik trīs | And three classes |
| Tur vectēva vectēvs | Grandfather's grandfather there |
| Sen, sen izsūtīts | Exiled a long, long time ago |
| Virtuvē pil krāns | The faucet in the kitchen is running |
| Vējš gar logu spraucas | The wind blows past the window |
| Pašiem ilgi saucot sevi | Calling themselves for a long time |
| Vienreiz jāatsaucas | Must be referenced once |
| Kuģa spogulis lauskās | The ship's mirror broke |
| Laiskas šļūkā pa klāju | Sloths slide across the deck |
| Vēl jau varētu salikt | It could still be put together |
| Bet dūša par vāju | But the stomach is too weak |
| Beidzot zivis aiz borta izlēma tā | Finally, the fish overboard decided so |
| Runāt skaidrā latviešu valodā | Speak clear Latvian |
| Vari, vari vai nevari? | Can you, can you or can't you? |
| Arī mums ir savs spīts | We too have our own defiance |
| Jūras slimība Tevī | Sea sickness in you |
| Uz sauszemes mīt | On land, there are |
| Varis pecēla lausku | Varis picked up a shard |
| Un ieskatījās | And looked in |
| Redzot sakniebtos vaibstus | Seeing the pinched features |
| Varis nenovērsās | Varis did not turn away |
| Virtuvē pil krāns | The faucet in the kitchen is running |
| Vējš gar logu spraucas | The wind blows past the window |
| Pašiem ilgi saucot sevi | Calling themselves for a long time |
| Vienreiz jāatsaucas | Must be referenced once |
| Virtuvē pil krāns | The faucet in the kitchen is running |
