| Puse tur, puse te (original) | Puse tur, puse te (translation) |
|---|---|
| skatos — augšāatkal mēness izbarots | looking - the moon is fed up again |
| zvaigznēm apkārt, viņas viņu saldi ēd. | stars around, they eat her sweetly. |
| un kurškuru tājau kuro reizi ēd, | and whosoever eateth it, |
| un tam nav kur bēgt. | and he has nowhere to flee. |
| puse tur, puse te. | half there, half here. |
| tu mani rausti — | you cut me - |
| mazliet tev, mazliet sev. | a little for you, a little for yourself. |
| es tikai cenšos izpatikt, pasmaidīt, | I'm just trying to please, smile, |
| un gala nav. | and there is no end. |
| manis nav, nekānav, manis nav vairs. | I am not, nor can I, I am no more. |
| stāvu viens aiz stūra, acu izpostīts, | floor one around the corner, eye damaged, |
| visu sētas suņu purniem apostīts, | the apostle of all the dog's muzzles, |
| un nez kāpēc šodien vairs nekānav žēl. | and for some reason it is no longer a pity today. |
| ko tu brīnies vēl? | what else do you wonder |
