| Nebij' milzis mans draugs, ne ar' mazais kāds
| Don't be a giant my friend, or a little one
|
| Tāds pats kā mēs visi, ne ar ko savādāks
| The same as all of us, no different
|
| Div' rokas, div' kājas, acis kas mirdz
| Two hands, two legs, eyes that shine
|
| Viss savā vietā, arī sirds
| Everything in its place, including the heart
|
| Viņš tālumā vērās, kā gaisma bij' klāt
| He noticed in the distance how the light was there
|
| Ne to sasmīdināt, ne sarūgtināt
| Neither make it laugh nor upset
|
| «Tur aiz debess malas, tur vēl ir kaut kas!»
| "Over the edge of the sky, there is something else!"
|
| Tas spītīgi teica un atvadījās
| It said stubbornly and said goodbye
|
| Viņš gāja un gāja, neatskatījās
| He walked and walked without looking back
|
| Augša rāpās uz visa, kas pagadījās
| The top crawled on everything that happened
|
| Koku celmiem un statuju postamentiem
| For tree stumps and statue pedestals
|
| Baznīctorņiem un pagānu sakramentiem
| Church steeples and pagan sacraments
|
| Kamēr reiz kalna galā tas uzdūrās
| Until once at the top of the hill it stumbled
|
| Kādam vīram, kas ar' tālē lūkojās
| To a man who was looking into the distance
|
| Tik uz mirkļi saskrējās viņu skats
| Their eyes met for a moment
|
| Un tie saprata — mēs esam viens un tas pats
| And they realized that we are one and the same
|
| Jau sen neviens dienas vairs neskaitīja
| It's been a long time since nobody counted the days
|
| Cik reižu laiks gadskaitļus samainīja
| How many times did time change the years
|
| Neba es savādāks, bez grēka kāds
| If I were different, someone without sin
|
| Tāds, kā pāraudzināts, kā izlutināts
| Like re-educated, like spoiled
|
| Bet tad kādudien bilde man trāpījās
| But then one day the picture hit me
|
| Kur viņa tik lieliski izskatījās
| Where she looked so great
|
| Vēl viņa un viņa un abi mēs
| And her and her and both of us
|
| Līdz es nolēmu — tas kaut ko nozīmē
| Until I decided it meant something
|
| Pret rītu mans draugs bija atgriezies
| By morning my friend had returned
|
| Ne pārmocījies, ne noraizējies
| Neither distressed nor worried
|
| Kūru pirti, lai putekļus nomazgā
| I use a sauna to wash off the dust
|
| Baltu kreklu un dažus mēriņus klāt
| Bring a white shirt and some measurements
|
| Man nekas viņam nebija jājautā
| I didn't have to ask him anything
|
| Viņa acīs viss pateikts bij' tik un tā
| In his eyes, everything said was the same
|
| «Tur aiz debess malas, tur vēl ir kaut kas!»
| "Over the edge of the sky, there is something else!"
|
| Tas domīgi teica un atvadījās | It said thoughtfully and said goodbye |
