Translation of the song lyrics Mēma Dziesma - Nora Bumbiere

Mēma Dziesma (original)

Pār mani mēma debess plešas
Un mēma, mēma pļava zied
Kāpēc es atkal esmu bešā
Kāpēc man vajag tukšā iet?
Kāpēc man vajag iet un meklēt
To balsi, kura pelnos dun
Klau, vēji maldās dziļi eglē
Klau, vijole tur raud kā suns
Ej un dedz
Sadedz savu balsi meklējot
Tikai savu balsi vienīgo
Tikai savu balsi, balsi to
Pār tevi liecas mēmi zari
Bet varbūt tās ir stabules
Un es kā mēmais, es kā mēmais
Bet ja nu jūra esmu es
Un ja nu viss ir dzīvs un ziedošs
Un pelnos vīru kori dun
Un ja nu dvēsele dzied eglē
Un savu likteni smilkst suns

Mēma Dziesma (translation)

A dumb sky is spreading over me
And the dumb, dumb meadow blooms
Why I'm in a mess again
Why do I need to go empty?
Why do I need to go and search
The voice that hums in the ashes
Listen, the winds are wandering deep in the fir tree
Listen, the violin is crying like a dog over there
Go and burn
Burns your voice in search
Only your voice alone
Just your voice, voice it
Dumb branches bend over you
But maybe it's the tables
And me as dumb, me as dumb
But if the sea is me
And if everything is alive and blooming
And a choir of meritorious men sings
And if the soul sings in the fir tree
And a dog sniffs its fate
