Lyrics of Es aiziet nevaru - Mirdza Zīvere

Es aiziet nevaru (original)

Tu biji kails un vēju aplauzts koks
Es lapots vītenis ar ziliem ziedu zvaniem
Pie stumbra rētainā, kas smalkām stīgām plok
Nu pilni zari maniem ziedu zvaniem
Nu dūc ap tevi atkal bišu spiets
Un putni ligzdo zaļu lapu ēnā
Tu stāvu raženo pār upes dzelmi liec
Un spoguļojies dziļi vilnī rēnā
Tev liekas, ka tu salapojis pats
Tu gribi izrauties no manu stīgu skavām
Dreb sāpēs tītenis un zila zieda acs
Lej asaras pār zaru rokām tavām
Bet ciešāk vēl pie raupjā stumbra plok
Vēl maigāk zvana visiem ziedu zvaniem
Es aiziet nevaru no tevis, sausais koks
Lai kails tu nepaliec bez lapu lokiem maniem

(translation)

You were a bare and wind-torn tree
I brushed the thread with blue flower bells
At the trunk scarred, fine strings block
Well full of branches for my flower calls
Well, there is a swarm of bees around you again
And the birds nest in the shade of green leaves
You stand steep over the riverbed
And reflected deep in the wave in the grove
You feel like you're bored
You want to get out of my string clamps
A shivering pain and a blue flower in the eye will tremble
Pour tears over your branches
But closer to the rough trunk block
Rings even more gently on all flower bells
I can't leave you, dry tree
Let me not be naked without bows to me
