Translation of the song lyrics Neskati Vīru No Cepures - Andris Ērglis, Раймонд Паулс

Neskati Vīru No Cepures (original)

Reiz kādā parkā zem ozola
Sēdēja vientuļš vīrs
Krekls pusgadsimtu balējis
Tomēr ir balts un tīrs
Garām pēc laimes iet meitenes
Rādot uz vīru — kas tas?
Vīrs paceļ acis un pasmaida
Viņš taču nav nekas
Bet neskati vīru no cepures
Cepuri var noņemt nost
Neskati vīru no cepures
Cepuri var noņemt nost
Ozola zarā sēž krauklis vecs
Šķiet, ka tam gadu jau simts
Lai jau tie zvirbuļi tālāk lec
Viņam tīk dienvidvējš rimts
Saskatās krauklis ar vīru tad
Mirklis un abi jau smej
Dzīvot par vēlu nav it nekad
Suns vēl ir dzīvs, kamēr rej

Neskati Vīru No Cepures (translation)

Once in an oak park
A lonely man was sitting
The shirt has faded for half a century
However, it is white and clean
Girls pass by happiness
Pointing at a man - what is it?
The man raises his eyes and smiles
He is nothing
But don't look at the man in the hat
The hat can be removed
Don't look at the man in the hat
The hat can be removed
An old raven sits in an oak branch
It seems like it's been a hundred years
Let those sparrows jump on
He likes the south wind calm
You look like a raven with a man then
The moment and both laugh
It is never too late to live
The dog is still alive while barking
