| Ašjau nepakeliu minciu apie tave!
| I can't stand the thought of you!
|
| Kaip obelis, apsunkusi nuo vaisiu,
| Like an apple tree heavy with fruit
|
| Užlaužiu tragiškai nusvirusias rankas,
| I break my tragically bent hands,
|
| O tu sakai Stovek, kaip stovi laisve!
| And you tell Stovek how you stand in freedom!
|
| O nesibaigianti kelione i tave!
| And the endless journey to you!
|
| Jau kaip akmuo šalikelej sukniubes
| Already like a stone on the side of the clutches
|
| Ašpilku vakaru lyg samanom dengiuos,
| I will cover myself in the evening.
|
| O tu sakai Eik taip, kaip eina laisve!
| And you say Go as you go!
|
| Tai uždaryk mane, Tevyne, savyje,
| It closes me, Tevyne, to yourself,
|
| Kaip giesme gerkleje mirtis uždaro,
| As death sings in the throat,
|
| Taip, kaip uždaro vakara naktis,
| The way evening night closes,
|
| O tu man atsakai Aš- tavo laisvė! | And thou answerest me- thy freedom! |
