Translation of the song lyrics Divas Latvijas - Kaspars Dimiters

Divas Latvijas (original)

Vēl ne tik sen, pirms jaunā normāluma
Bars pukojās, bet pārāk nenoskuma
Bij' stadionos, arēnās un klubos
Kur priecāties, līdz kamēr neizrubos
Bij' mūzika, ko konvejieri ražo
Bij' masām brīvība, kas panesami važo
Un lielveikalu milzu katedrālēs
Kur ticēt mūžībai, kas tepat preču zālēs
Bij' sodu daudz kā kūtspakaļā nātru
Jā, radari, lai nenesies par ātru
Jā, nodokļi, bet vai no tiem kāds ģība
Bij' iekš kā aizmirsties, un tā bij' mantkārība
Te pēkšņi bāc!
— un pīrsings tavs zem maskas!
Visapkārt policisti, bākugunis, kaskas
Ne draugu pabučot, ne šefam gurnus gorīt
Nu lomkas tādas — skrobi grūti norīt
Nu pēkšņi tvarsta tevi naktī ielās
Cik tautā sodīto nu Panorāmā lielās
Viss apstājies — kā mocīts, skrējis mūrī
Kas pārāk lecas, notiesā, liek būrī
Bet tie tak savējie, ko paši ievēlējām
No tautas labākie, ar izredzēto spējām
Par mums tie rūpējas.
Un armija nāks talkā
Ar varu izārstēs, ne vidā pārāk smalkā
Nu vīruss tāds, ka visi potējami
Nu visi slimnieki un slimi visiem nami
Ar mūsu balsīm nokļuvušie spicē
Kā slimus dzīvnikus mūs testē, dezinficē
Un policists, kas tevi ņems pie žaunas
Vien klausīs pavēlēm, kas tam ik dienas jaunas
Kā kādreiz «troikas» — plika politika
Vien darīja, ko priekšniecība lika
Tā arī nacisti, kas līķus kalniem krāva
Vien darīja, ko pavēles tiem ļāva
Tāpat ar tiem, kas šodien karavīri
Liks šaut un šaus.
Un papīri būs tīri
Ir divas Latvijas, ko dalīs divās pusēs
Kas pavēl, vienā būs.
To pusē būs, kas klusēs
Bet otrā tie, kas pirmo plānus minēs
Tos pirmie izolēs, ar varu novakcinēs
Vairs nav ko brīnīties — viss notiks acu priekšā
Nav jāliek cietumā - jau visi tajā iekšā
Varbūt vēl Saeimu šo veco atlaist spēsim
Un jaunu, labāku, sirds mieram ievēlēsim
Varbūt tie dzeloņdrātis sudrabos vai zeltīs
Varbūt liks barakās un neļaus nosalt teltīs
Varbūt tie pažēlos — bez sāpēm iemidzinās
Bet to, ka tauta mēs, neviens vairs neuzzinās
Ir tautām dziesmas — mūžīgas un svētas
Ir tautās vienots spēks — tās Dieva izredzētas
Ja vergu bars, kam ‘draivs' ir mantkārība
Tad lai vairs neesam.
Un tā būs Dieva griba
Lai esam tauta
Tīra zelta vātīm
Lai baiļu nav mums
No varas dzeloņdrātīm

(translation)

Not so long ago, before the new normal
The crowd was sulking, but not too sad
Be in stadiums, arenas and clubs
Where to be happy until you die
Bij' music that conveyor belts make
There was freedom for the masses, which is tolerably shackled
And in the giant cathedrals of supermarkets
Where to believe in eternity, which is right here in the halls of goods
There were many punishments like nettles in the barnyard
Yes, radars, don't go too fast
Yes, taxes, but does anyone faint from them
It was like forgetting, and that was greed
There's a sudden push!
— and your piercing under the mask!
Policemen, beacons, helmets all around
Not kissing a friend, not having a boss's bum
Well, that's the problem - the starch is hard to swallow
Well, suddenly you are being chased in the streets at night
How many people are punished in Panorama?
Everything stopped - as if tormented, running into a wall
Anyone who jumps too much is condemned, put in a cage
But those are our own, which we chose ourselves
The best of the people, with the abilities of the chosen ones
They take care of us.
And the army will come to the rescue
With power will heal, not in an environment too subtle
Well, the virus is such that everyone can be vaccinated
Well, all the sick and all the sick at home
With our votes, those caught in the spikes
As sick animals, we are tested, disinfected
And a policeman who will take you by the gills
It will only listen to commands that are new to it every day
As the troikas once were - naked politics
Just did what the management told
So did the Nazis, who piled corpses on mountains
They just did what the orders allowed them to do
Likewise with those who are soldiers today
Will order to shoot and will shoot.
And the papers will be clean
There are two Latvias, which will be divided into two halves
Who commands, will be in one.
On their side will be those who remain silent
But in the second, those who will mention the first plans
They will be the first to be isolated, forcibly vaccinated
There is nothing to wonder anymore - everything will happen before your eyes
There is no need to put in prison - everyone is already in it
Maybe we will be able to fire this old Saeima
And let's elect a new, better one for peace of mind
Maybe the barbed wire will be silver or gold
Maybe put them in barracks and keep them from freezing in tents
Maybe they'll take pity - they'll fall asleep without pain
But no one will ever know that we are the people
There are songs for the nations, eternal and sacred
There is a united power in the nations - those chosen by God
If a bunch of slaves whose 'drive' is greed
Then let's not be anymore.
And that will be God's will
Let us be a nation
Pure gold for watts
Let us have no fear
From the barbed wire of power
