| Krīt debesu aizkars tukšā visuma priekšā
| The curtain of heaven falls before the empty universe
|
| Uz galda glāze ūdens un viss tajā iekšā
| A glass of water on the table and everything in it
|
| Tik maz ir vajadzīgs šai plašumā telpas
| So little is needed for this vast space
|
| Jo lielāka pasaule, jo vairāk trūkst elpas
| The bigger the world, the more breathless
|
| Kā nosargāt gleznu, ko aplaupa ota
| How to protect a painting robbed by a brush
|
| Balts audekls dzīves ir košākā rota
| A white canvas is life's brightest ornament
|
| Smagi kruzuļu putni tavu tukšumu dala
| Heavy hummingbirds share your emptiness
|
| Šī dzīve nav krasts, tā ir vientuļa sala
| This life is not a shore, it is a lonely island
|
| Tev ir jāiet un jāiet, tikai paliec uz vietas
| You have to go and go, just stay put
|
| Tev pieder dzīvot, mīlēt un nemirt — vien trīs lietas
| You own to live, to love, and not to die - just three things
|
| Aiz rītdienas nekas nesāksies no jauna
| Nothing will start over after tomorrow
|
| Būs kā mūžīgi bijis, dzims brīvība no kauna
| It will be as it has been forever, freedom from shame will be born
|
| Tava nemaņa un kritieni liek atgriezties un sākties
| Your slips and falls make you come back and start over
|
| Līdz debesis glāzē iemācās neapmākties
| Until the sky in a glass learns not to cloud
|
| Un mazais visums pār tevi kā modinoša rasa nolīst
| And the little universe falls on you like a wakening dew
|
| Tavi pieredzes kilometri ir tikai viens solis
| Your experience kilometers are just one step
|
| Divas pasaules caur tavu esamību traucas
| Two worlds collide through your existence
|
| Tās it kā ir viena otrā, taču nekad nesajaucas
| They seem to be inside each other, but never mix
|
| Garām glāzei uz nakti ved nāves noblietēta taka
| A path packed with death leads past the glass into the night
|
| Tur it kā vajadzētu beigties, bet izlien mēness un ir tev aka
| It should end there, but the moon pours out and there is a well for you
|
| Ir vai nu meli vai nemeli, tikai nav patiesības
| There is either a lie or a lie, but no truth
|
| Tu negribi nomirt, jo nav tādas beigties gribas
| You don't want to die because you don't want to end
|
| Kaut kam tuvam, bet neredzamam tu čuksti: es nāku | To something close but invisible, you whisper: I am coming |
| Jo tu zini, ka nomirt ir vienīgais sākums
| Because you know that dying is the only beginning
|
| Nav debesu aizkars tava visuma priekšā
| There is no heavenly curtain before your universe
|
| Uz galda glāze ūdens un zvaigznes iekšā
| A glass of water on the table and a star inside
|
| Aiz loga zem ielas dus tava svētā kauli
| Behind the window under the street rest your holy bones
|
| Viņš debesīs lūdz, lai tu kļūsti par sauli
| He is praying in the sky that you become the sun
|
| Tikai nopūties un ej savā tālumā tuvā
| Just sigh and go in your distance close
|
| Tik daudzi taču palika guļot un neatguvās
| So many remained dormant and did not recover
|
| Tev nevajag vairāk kā palikt uz vietas
| You don't need more than to stay put
|
| Dzīvot, mīlēt un nemirt — vien trīs lietas | To live, to love and not to die - just three things |
