| Cik glīta veste iznāk drēbniekam
| How beautiful a vest is for a tailor
|
| Tik ļoti bieži paklupt sanāk man
| So often stumble meets me
|
| Cik viegli ieslīd roka kabatā
| How easy it slips into your hand pocket
|
| Tik viegli noslīkt jaunā atvarā
| So easy to drown in a new opening
|
| Tā kā sievietes no skaistuma
| As women of beauty
|
| Vairāmies mēs sava maiguma
| We multiply in our tenderness
|
| Kaunoties, mēs pazaudējam to
| Ashamed, we lose it
|
| Savu sirdi vienu vienīgo
| Your heart alone
|
| Kā izaudzēta roze dārzniekam
| How to grow a rose for a gardener
|
| Tiek izraudzīta cūka miesniekam
| The pig is selected for the butcher
|
| Ja sacerēta dziesma jaunībā
| If a song was written in his youth
|
| Tā tiek nodziedāta sirmā vecumā
| It is sung at an old age
|
| Skatoties mēs acīs nododam
| Looking at it, we give our eyes
|
| Un pie citām acīm aizejam
| And we go to the other eye
|
| Maldāmies kā pārslas putenī
| We are mistaken for a blizzard
|
| Paliek tikai vārdi akmenī
| All that remains are words in the stone
|
| Skatoties mēs acīs nododam
