| Vēl ne tik sen, pirms jaunā normāluma
| Not so long ago, before the new normal
|
| Bars pukojās, bet pārāk nenoskuma
| The crowd was sulking, but not too sad
|
| Bij' stadionos, arēnās un klubos
| Be in stadiums, arenas and clubs
|
| Kur priecāties, līdz kamēr neizrubos
| Where to be happy until you die
|
| Bij' mūzika, ko konvejieri ražo
| Bij' music that conveyor belts make
|
| Bij' masām brīvība, kas panesami važo
| There was freedom for the masses, which is tolerably shackled
|
| Un lielveikalu milzu katedrālēs
| And in the giant cathedrals of supermarkets
|
| Kur ticēt mūžībai, kas tepat preču zālēs
| Where to believe in eternity, which is right here in the halls of goods
|
| Bij' sodu daudz kā kūtspakaļā nātru
| There were many punishments like nettles in the barnyard
|
| Jā, radari, lai nenesies par ātru
| Yes, radars, don't go too fast
|
| Jā, nodokļi, bet vai no tiem kāds ģība
| Yes, taxes, but does anyone faint from them
|
| Bij' iekš kā aizmirsties, un tā bij' mantkārība
| It was like forgetting, and that was greed
|
| Te pēkšņi bāc! | There's a sudden push! |
| — un pīrsings tavs zem maskas!
| — and your piercing under the mask!
|
| Visapkārt policisti, bākugunis, kaskas
| Policemen, beacons, helmets all around
|
| Ne draugu pabučot, ne šefam gurnus gorīt
| Not kissing a friend, not having a boss's bum
|
| Nu lomkas tādas — skrobi grūti norīt
| Well, that's the problem - the starch is hard to swallow
|
| Nu pēkšņi tvarsta tevi naktī ielās
| Well, suddenly you are being chased in the streets at night
|
| Cik tautā sodīto nu Panorāmā lielās
| How many people are punished in Panorama?
|
| Viss apstājies — kā mocīts, skrējis mūrī
| Everything stopped - as if tormented, running into a wall
|
| Kas pārāk lecas, notiesā, liek būrī
| Anyone who jumps too much is condemned, put in a cage
|
| Bet tie tak savējie, ko paši ievēlējām
| But those are our own, which we chose ourselves
|
| No tautas labākie, ar izredzēto spējām
| The best of the people, with the abilities of the chosen ones
|
| Par mums tie rūpējas. | They take care of us. |
| Un armija nāks talkā
| And the army will come to the rescue
|
| Ar varu izārstēs, ne vidā pārāk smalkā
| With power will heal, not in an environment too subtle
|
| Nu vīruss tāds, ka visi potējami
| Well, the virus is such that everyone can be vaccinated
|
| Nu visi slimnieki un slimi visiem nami
| Well, all the sick and all the sick at home
|
| Ar mūsu balsīm nokļuvušie spicē | With our votes, those caught in the spikes |
| Kā slimus dzīvnikus mūs testē, dezinficē
| As sick animals, we are tested, disinfected
|
| Un policists, kas tevi ņems pie žaunas
| And a policeman who will take you by the gills
|
| Vien klausīs pavēlēm, kas tam ik dienas jaunas
| It will only listen to commands that are new to it every day
|
| Kā kādreiz «troikas» — plika politika
| As the troikas once were - naked politics
|
| Vien darīja, ko priekšniecība lika
| Just did what the management told
|
| Tā arī nacisti, kas līķus kalniem krāva
| So did the Nazis, who piled corpses on mountains
|
| Vien darīja, ko pavēles tiem ļāva
| They just did what the orders allowed them to do
|
| Tāpat ar tiem, kas šodien karavīri
| Likewise with those who are soldiers today
|
| Liks šaut un šaus. | Will order to shoot and will shoot. |
| Un papīri būs tīri
| And the papers will be clean
|
| Ir divas Latvijas, ko dalīs divās pusēs
| There are two Latvias, which will be divided into two halves
|
| Kas pavēl, vienā būs. | Who commands, will be in one. |
| To pusē būs, kas klusēs
| On their side will be those who remain silent
|
| Bet otrā tie, kas pirmo plānus minēs
| But in the second, those who will mention the first plans
|
| Tos pirmie izolēs, ar varu novakcinēs
| They will be the first to be isolated, forcibly vaccinated
|
| Vairs nav ko brīnīties — viss notiks acu priekšā
| There is nothing to wonder anymore - everything will happen before your eyes
|
| Nav jāliek cietumā - jau visi tajā iekšā
| There is no need to put in prison - everyone is already in it
|
| Varbūt vēl Saeimu šo veco atlaist spēsim
| Maybe we will be able to fire this old Saeima
|
| Un jaunu, labāku, sirds mieram ievēlēsim
| And let's elect a new, better one for peace of mind
|
| Varbūt tie dzeloņdrātis sudrabos vai zeltīs
| Maybe the barbed wire will be silver or gold
|
| Varbūt liks barakās un neļaus nosalt teltīs
| Maybe put them in barracks and keep them from freezing in tents
|
| Varbūt tie pažēlos — bez sāpēm iemidzinās
| Maybe they'll take pity - they'll fall asleep without pain
|
| Bet to, ka tauta mēs, neviens vairs neuzzinās
| But no one will ever know that we are the people
|
| Ir tautām dziesmas — mūžīgas un svētas
| There are songs for the nations, eternal and sacred
|
| Ir tautās vienots spēks — tās Dieva izredzētas
| There is a united power in the nations - those chosen by God
|
| Ja vergu bars, kam ‘draivs' ir mantkārība
| If a bunch of slaves whose 'drive' is greed
|
| Tad lai vairs neesam. | Then let's not be anymore. |
| Un tā būs Dieva griba | And that will be God's will |
| Lai esam tauta
| Let us be a nation
|
| Tīra zelta vātīm
| Pure gold for watts
|
| Lai baiļu nav mums
| Let us have no fear
|
| No varas dzeloņdrātīm | From the barbed wire of power |
