Lyrics of Kā kuģis - Livi

Kā kuģis (original)

Kā kuģis lēns un domīgs uz māju pusi iet
Nāk vīrs ar stiprām rokām un savu dziesmu dzied
Par jūru un par dēliem, par savu mīļoto
Un neprasa nevienam sev lieku it neko
Viņš ir kā karogs mastā un bāka tiem, kas redz
Kā stāstā neparastā viņš savu dzīvi dedz
Tam sirds no zelta un dzintara mazliet
Un krūtīs saule, kas nekad nenoriet
Tam sirds no zelta un dzintara mazliet
Un krūtīs saule, kas nekad nenoriet
Kaut sidrabs matos zvīļo, viņš spītīgs tālāk ies
Un piedos tiem, kas neprot ne lūdzu, ne paldies
Kā kuģis lēns un domīgs, kam dārga viņa cilts
Viņš plūst kā upe strauja un stāv kā akmens tilts
Un šis ir tikai paldies par to, kas ir un būs
Un kamēr vien viņš dziedās, šī jūra neizžūs
Tam sirds no zelta un dzintara mazliet
Un krūtīs saule, kas nekad nenoriet
Tam sirds no zelta un dzintara mazliet
Un krūtīs saule, kas nekad nenoriet
Un šis ir tikai paldies par to, kas ir un būs
Un kamēr vien viņš dziedās, šī jūra neizžūs
Tam sirds no zelta un dzintara mazliet
Un krūtīs saule, kas nekad nenoriet
Tam sirds no zelta un dzintara mazliet
Un krūtīs saule, kas nekad nenoriet

(translation)

As the ship is slow and thoughtful the house side goes
A man comes with strong hands and sings his song
About the sea and about the sons, about your loved one
And don't ask anyone to do anything
He is like a flag on a mast and a lighthouse to those who see
As the story goes unusual, he burns his life
It has a heart of gold and a bit of amber
And the sun in the chest that never sets
It has a heart of gold and a bit of amber
And the sun in the chest that never sets
Although the silver screams in his hair, he stubbornly goes on
And forgive those who can neither please nor thank
As a ship slow and thoughtful, having dear to his tribe
It flows like a river and stands like a stone bridge
And this is just a thank you for what is and will be
And as long as he sings, this sea will not dry up
It has a heart of gold and a bit of amber
And the sun in the chest that never sets
It has a heart of gold and a bit of amber
And the sun in the chest that never sets
And this is just a thank you for what is and will be
And as long as he sings, this sea will not dry up
It has a heart of gold and a bit of amber
And the sun in the chest that never sets
It has a heart of gold and a bit of amber
And the sun in the chest that never sets
