Translation of the song lyrics Balāde I - BrainStorm, Artūrs Skrastiņš

Balāde I (original)

Pa zilo Donavu peld līķis
Kas zin vai turks vai serbs vai krievs
Viņš vairāk nerunās viņš klusēs
Viņš klusēs arī augšā Dievs
Un nepaskaidros kā labad
Šis gadsimts muļķīgs padevies
Bet upes malā daiļa meiča
Bez mitas nebeidz as’ras liet
Un pārdzīvo ka savam mīļam
Tā nevarēja līdzi iet
Un savas kvēlās asinis
Par godu ķeizarnamam liet
Bet klusēs Dievs
Un rūgti bārdā smaidīs
Jo nevarēs tam izskaidrot neviens
Kādēļ šo dzimumu
Viņš zemes virsū laidis
Arvienu skaļāk kanonādē
Kā dusmīgs vīru koris dun
Un veči šauj un veči lādē
Un tuvcīņās viens otram dur
Bet ka tiesas priekšā stājas
Tie nīkuļi kas neiztur
Cik skaisti izritinās zarnas
Cik skaisti pāršķīst galvaskauss
Kad visi veselie kļūs kropļi
Tad visiem kropļiem kauties ļaus
Un pašās beigās al-le-lu-ja
Ar kaulu zāģi spēlēs Štrauss
Bet klusēs Dievs
Un rūgti bārdā smaidīs
Jo nevarēs tam izskaidrot neviens
Kādēļ šo dzimumu
Viņš zemes virsū laidis
Bet klusēs Dievs
Un rūgti bārdā smaidīs
Jo nevarēs tam izskaidrot neviens
Kādēļ šo dzimumu
Viņš zemes virsū laidis

Balāde I (translation)

A corpse is flying along the blue Danube
Who knows whether Turkish or Serbian or Russian
He will no longer speak in silence
He will also remain silent above God
And won't explain why
This century is silly
But by the river a beautiful girl
Without myth, the cast of as'ra does not end
And experience that for your loved one
It couldn't go along
And his glowing blood
In honor of the emperor
But God will remain silent
And he will smile bitterly
Because no one will be able to explain it
Why this sex
He put it on the ground
The canonade is getting louder and louder
Like an angry male choir dun
And old men shoot, and old men curse
And in close combat, they stab each other
But that comes to court
Those nonsense that can't stand it
How beautiful is the gut
How beautifully the skull dissolves
When all healthy will become deformed
Then all the cripples will be allowed to fight
And at the very end al-le-lu-ja
Strauss will play with a bone saw
But God will remain silent
And he will smile bitterly
Because no one will be able to explain it
Why this sex
He put it on the ground
But God will remain silent
And he will smile bitterly
Because no one will be able to explain it
Why this sex
He put it on the ground
