| Uz lēģeriem mūs komunisti dzina
| The communists drove us to the camps
|
| Un varmācīgi ņēmās pārkrievot
| And violently began to cross-Russian
|
| Nu pašu zemē brāļi iznīcina
| Well, in the land itself, the brothers are destroying
|
| Kas amatus un naudu nozagt prot
| Who knows how to steal positions and money
|
| Kas brīvība — spriest bezdarbniekam grūti
| What is freedom - difficult to judge for an unemployed person
|
| Vai kartupelis ūdens malks vai spirts?
| Is a potato a sip of water or alcohol?
|
| No tribīnes kas auro pilnu krūti
| From the stand that roars full of breast
|
| Nav brālis mums bet svešķermenis ir
| He is not a brother to us, but there is a foreign body
|
| Par bāreņiem lai paceļam šo kausu
| For the orphans, let us raise this cup
|
| Par pensionāriem izmisums ko grauž
| Desperation eats away at pensioners
|
| Ne varenajiem acu ir ne ausu
| Neither the mighty have eyes nor ears
|
| No mūsu nelaimes tie savu laimi auž
| They weave their happiness from our misfortune
|
| Cik bezgalīgas sāpju kausam dzīles
| How endless the depths of the cup of pain
|
| To nodzērusies māte pastāstīs
| A drunken mother will tell you that
|
| Es mīlu Latviju — bet vai tā mani mīlēs
| I love Latvia - but will it love me
|
| Vai varas nozagta vēl bezcerībā dzīs
| Will the stolen power still be in despair?
|
| Lai dzīvo ubagi un pazemoto kārta
| Long live beggars and the turn of the humiliated
|
| Lai dzīvo pakritušie dzimtās grāvmalēs
| Long live those who fell in the ditches of their homeland
|
| Mums latvju zemes dubļi sejas vārta
| For us, the mud of the Latvian land is the face of the gate
|
| Jums sirdsapziņai dubļi esam mēs
| We are the mud for your conscience
|
| Kā akli sikspārņi mēs tumsā redzam ceļu
| Like blind bats, we see the way in the dark
|
| Kaut spirts un kartupel’s vin galdā celts
| Although alcohol and potatoes are brought to the table
|
| Mums pieder Latvija n saujai treknu meļu
| We own Latvia n a handful of fat liars
|
| Un laimes pīšļi reiz būs mūsu zelts
| And the dust of happiness will be our gold one day
|
| Ai Latvija tu manā sirdī rēta
| Oh Latvia, you are a scar in my heart
|
| Ai mana tauta — jāta čakarēta
| Oh My People - Horseback Riding
|
| Ja gribi brīvību to «točkās» tirgo kannām
| If you want freedom, it is sold for cans in "tochkas".
|
| Ja gribi aizmirsties no Jāņiem dzer līdz Annām | If you want to forget from John's, drink until Anna's |
