Translation of the song lyrics Ripo nauda Daugavā - Jauns Mēness

Ripo nauda Daugavā (original)

Ripo, naudiņ, Tu zem galda
Ripo taisni Daugavā -
Zaļais ūdens lai savalda
Manu bēdu rītausmā!
Tie, kas kala, neizkala
Tādu sieku rāvienā
Ko man nenotriekt līdz galam
Vienā vēja brāzienā!
Tā, kas sauca, nesasauca
Manu sirdi nomodā
Citas nāca, kārtis jauca
Katra savā valodā!
Ko es rēju, to mīlēju
Kam negāju apraudzīt?!
Pats sev acis aizmālēju
Ka ne vella saskatīt!
Tie, kas rāja nezināja
Kādu sodu pieprasīt
Tādiem vārdiem nozākāja
Ka pat bail ir atstāstīt!
Dod man, Dieviņ, tādu sodu
Tādu darbu noslogo
Lai neklausu es to jodu
Kas man prātu izkūko!

Ripo nauda Daugavā (translation)

Ripo, money, you're under the table
Roll straight on the Daugava -
Let the green water restrain
My sorrow at dawn!
Those who die do not die
In a jerk
What I don't run out of
In one gust of wind!
The one who called did not call
My heart awake
Others came, the cards shuffled
Each in its own language!
What I swallowed I loved
Who can't I see ?!
I closed my eyes
That's not a vella to see!
Those who skate did not know
What penalty to claim
Such words were reprimanded
That even scare me to tell!
Give me, God, such a punishment
Such work is burdened
Let me not listen to it
What makes me mad!
