Lyrics of Mēmais sargs - Jauns Mēness

Mēmais sargs (original)

Sazin kur nezin kur
Tālu projām vai tepat līdzās
Es noteikti zinu, ka laiku pa laikam kāds dzied:
«Kam gan uguns tālā šoreiz spīdēs
Sargs mēmais kam mieru dos?»
Un lai kā gan es censtos
Nav bijis nekad lemts man redzēt
Vai jauns, vai vecs
Vai viņa vai viņš tas, kas dzied
Kur mani, kur mani kvēlā sārtā
Lej mani, lej mani vīnā sev
Dzer mani, dzer mani sausu ārā
Reibsti un aizmirsti kā Tevi sauc
Varbūt tā esi Tu
Vai tas nolemtais vīrs tur uz stūra
Vai tas nopērtais suns, kas pie ārdurvīm klusi smilkst:
«Kam gan uguns tālā šoreiz spīdēs?
Sargs mēmais kam mieru dos?»
Un lai kā gan es censtos
Nav bijis nekad lemts man zināt
Vai bailes, vai drosme
Vai spīts tas, kas lūdz

(translation)

I know where I don't know where
Far away or right next door
I know for sure that from time to time someone sings:
"Whose fire will shine far away this time
Who will give peace to the dumb guard? ”
And no matter how hard I try
It was never destined to see me
Whether new or old
Is he or he the one who sings
Where me, where I glow pink
Pour me, pour me wine for yourself
Drink me, drink me dry outside
Drunk and forget what your name is
Maybe it's you
Is that destined man on the corner
Is it the beaten dog that sneaks quietly at the front door:
"Why will the fire shine far away this time?
Who will give peace to the dumb guard? ”
And no matter how hard I try
It was never destined for me to know
Whether fear or courage
Or whatever you ask
