| Kad vēlu mājās nāci no savas naktsdzīves
| When you come home late from your nightlife
|
| Man blakus skaļi krāci, vēl nedusmojos es
| The loud rapids are next to me, I'm not angry yet
|
| Bet nu jau iet par traku, tu dzer kā nelabais
| But now it's going crazy, you're drinking like a bad guy
|
| Tik atnes tukšu maku, bet pats tu pilns kā maiss
| So bring an empty purse, but you yourself are full like a sack
|
| No brīža šī, es saku, te valdīs citāds gaiss
| From now on, I will say, there will be a different air here
|
| Uz teātri mēs iesim un ložā sēdēsim
| We will go to the theater and sit in the lodge
|
| Pa svaigu gaisu skriesim un glauni ēdīsim
| Let's run through the fresh air and eat neatly
|
| Tu baznīcā tad grēkus katr' svētdien sūdzēsi
| You will then confess your sins in the church every Sunday
|
| Un turpmāk savus spēkus priekš manis taupīsi
| And in the future you will save your strength for me
|
| No brīža šī, es saku, tu mani klausīsi
| From now on, I say, you will listen to me
|
| Tu stumsi bērnu ratus un traukus mazgāsi
| You push the strollers and wash the dishes
|
| Vairs neraidīsi skatus, kad meičas redzēsi
| You will no longer see the sights when you see the girls
|
| Tik uzvalku vien košu tu mūžam valkāsi
| Only a bright suit will be worn forever
|
| Es tevi pārveidošu, līdz tu man patiksi
| I'll transform you until I like you
|
| Un padomus tev došu, bet tu man klausīsi
| And I will give thee counsel, and thou shalt hearken unto me
|
| Tad visus dzērājbrāļus un kāršu spēlmaņus
| Then all the drinking brothers and card players
|
| Es aizdzīšu kā cāļus, tad miers mums mājās būs
| I will drive them away like chickens, and we will have peace at home
|
| Ja vīriņš kārtīgs būsi, tīrs un pieklājīgs
| If you are a good man, clean and polite
|
| Tad iemīļots tu kļūsi no visas ģimenes
| Then you will become loved by the whole family
|
| Tu būsi mūsu galva, bet noteicēja — es | You will be our head, but I will be the determinant |
