Translation of the song lyrics Varis - Ainars Mielavs, Pārcēlāji

Varis (original)

Varis kāpa uz kuģa
Lai brauktu uz mājām
Bet kapteiņa nava
Un buras pie kājām
Un streipuļo kaijas
Un karte peld jūrā
Jo smaidīgais junga
Tik aplami stūrē
Masta strupajā galā
Elma ugunis spīd
Kravu rupjākais brezents
Izirst kā zīds
Bet Varim nav varas
Un klases tik trīs
Tur vectēva vectēvs
Sen, sen izsūtīts
Virtuvē pil krāns
Vējš gar logu spraucas
Pašiem ilgi saucot sevi
Vienreiz jāatsaucas
Kuģa spogulis lauskās
Laiskas šļūkā pa klāju
Vēl jau varētu salikt
Bet dūša par vāju
Beidzot zivis aiz borta izlēma tā
Runāt skaidrā latviešu valodā
Vari, vari vai nevari?
Arī mums ir savs spīts
Jūras slimība Tevī
Uz sauszemes mīt
Varis pecēla lausku
Un ieskatījās
Redzot sakniebtos vaibstus
Varis nenovērsās
Virtuvē pil krāns
Vējš gar logu spraucas
Pašiem ilgi saucot sevi
Vienreiz jāatsaucas
Virtuvē pil krāns
Vējš gar logu spraucas
Pašiem ilgi saucot sevi
Vienreiz jāatsaucas

Varis (translation)

Varis boarded the ship
To drive home
But there was no captain
And sails at your feet
And streaking seagulls
And the map floats in the sea
Because the smiling young man
So wrong in steering
At the blunt end of the mast
Elm's fire shines
Cargo's coarsest tarpaulin
Sheds like silk
But Var has no power
And three classes
Grandfather's grandfather there
Exiled a long, long time ago
The faucet in the kitchen is running
The wind blows past the window
Calling themselves for a long time
Must be referenced once
The ship's mirror broke
Sloths slide across the deck
It could still be put together
But the stomach is too weak
Finally, the fish overboard decided so
Speak clear Latvian
Can you, can you or can't you?
We too have our own defiance
Sea sickness in you
On land, there are
Varis picked up a shard
And looked in
Seeing the pinched features
Varis did not turn away
The faucet in the kitchen is running
The wind blows past the window
Calling themselves for a long time
Must be referenced once
The faucet in the kitchen is running
The wind blows past the window
Calling themselves for a long time
Must be referenced once
