Lyrics of Vai tu vari - Livi

Vai tu vari (original)

Vai tu vari savai mātei pavēlēt
Vai tu vari savu dzīvi nospēlēt
Vai tu vari savām kājām likt lai iet
Ja ir durvis vaļā, bet Tev nav kur iet
Vai tu vari savu laimi sameklēt
Savā vārdā kādu citu pārdēvēt
Vai tu vari svešu lietu lūgt, lai līst
Ja pat vaļā logiem stikls pušu plīst
Vai tu vari acīm pavēlēt
Sveču gaismu naktī neredzēt
Vai tu vari savām rokām likt, lai ceļ
Ja tev pāri Tavu kapakmeni veļ
Vai tu vari savu sirdi uzklausīt
Sveša padoma nevienam neprasīt
Tad Tu esi cilvēks un no visa brīvs
Tad Tu esi cilvēks un patiešām dzīvs

(translation)

Can you command your mother?
Can you play your life
Can you put your feet up?
If the door is open but you have nowhere to go
Can you find your happiness?
Rename someone else in your own name
Can you ask a stranger to rain?
If even the open windows of the glass sides break
Can you command the eyes
Do not see the candlelight at night
Can you put your hands up to build
If your tombstone is washed over you
Can you hear your heart
Don't ask anyone for advice
Then you are human and free from everything
Then you are human and really alive
