Translation of the song lyrics Nenopūt Sveci - Nora Bumbiere, Viktors Lapčenoks, Раймонд Паулс

Nenopūt Sveci (original)

Nenopūt šonakt sveci, esi tik labs
Lai deg, lai izdeg līdz galam
Varbūt tad naktis, atkal naktis kāps
Ausmā pasmaidīs rīts kā jūrā sala
Cik gan ilgi tā cilvēks var bezmiegu brist
Velkot līdzi ar virvēm sasietas ilgas
Palūk, cik grāvī smaida auseklis
Un gurdās kājas mierinoši noglauž
Smilgas, smilgas, smilgas
Noglauž smilgas, smilgas, smilgas, smilgas
Nenopūt šonakt sveci, ļauj tai zust
Ļauj savam logam iegrimt tumsā
Neredzamā, neredzamā
Tad beidzot ceļš pie tevis zudis būs
Miers ienāks, ienāks nogurušā namā
Nogurušā namā, noguru…

Nenopūt Sveci (translation)

Don't blow out the candle tonight, be so good
Let it burn, let it burn to the end
Maybe then the night, the night will come again
The morning will smile at dawn like an island in the sea
How long can a person wade without sleep?
Pulling along with ropes of longing
Look how much the ear is smiling in the ditch
And the tired legs are comfortingly broken
Sand, sand, sand
Break the sands, sands, sands, sands
Don't blow out the candle tonight, let it fade
Let your window sink into darkness
Invisible, invisible
Then finally the way to you will be lost
Peace will come, it will come to the tired house
In a tired house, tired…
