| Cilvēks nav vientuļa sala
| Man is not a lonely island
|
| Mēs esam gaismas tuneļa galā
| We are at the end of the light tunnel
|
| Klauni, kas tīko pēc slavas
| Clowns who long for fame
|
| Vai arī vienkārši vīri, kas darbu dara
| Or just men doing the work
|
| Bākas, kas piekrastē mirgo
| Lighthouses flashing on the coast
|
| Un satraukti jātnieki zirgos
| And excited riders on horses
|
| Lai piepildās kam sen jau bija jānotiek
| May it be long overdue
|
| Pirms sardzes torņos jaunu trauksmi jūt
| Before the watch in the towers, a new anxiety is felt
|
| Bet par to zēnu, kas sit skārda bungas
| But for the boy who hits the tin drums
|
| Tu, ja vien vēlies, atkal vari kļūt
| You can become again if you want
|
| Gājputni lido garām baros
| Migratory birds fly in flocks
|
| Mēs esam ieroči mēmi, kad apkārt karo
| We are dumb weapons when there is war around
|
| Piestātnes plūdos un palos
| Quays in floods and floods
|
| Un mātes ar krūti, kas bērnus baro
| And breastfeeding mothers
|
| Lai piepildās kam sen jau bija jānotiek
| May it be long overdue
|
| Pirms sardzes torņos jaunu trauksmi jūt
| Before the watch in the towers, a new anxiety is felt
|
| Bet par to zēnu, kas sit skārda bungas
| But for the boy who hits the tin drums
|
| Tu, ja vien vēlies, atkal vari kļūt
| You can become again if you want
|
| Par to zēnu, kas sit skārda bungas
| For the boy who hits the tin drums
|
| Atkal vari kļūt
| You can become again
|
| Par to zēnu, kas sit skārda bungas
| For the boy who hits the tin drums
|
| Atkal vari kļūt
| You can become again
|
| Par to zēnu, kas sit skārda bungas
| For the boy who hits the tin drums
|
| Tu, ja vien vēlies, atkal vari kļūt
| You can become again if you want
|
| Par to zēnu, kas sit skārda bungas
| For the boy who hits the tin drums
|
| Atkal vari kļūt
| You can become again
|
| Par to zēnu, kas sit skārda bungas
| For the boy who hits the tin drums
|
| Atkal vari kļūt | You can become again |
