Translation of the song lyrics Par Pēdējo Lapu - Nora Bumbiere

Par Pēdējo Lapu (original)

Dzīvoja reiz lapa zarā,
Dzīvoja tāvisiem garām — arīsev, arīsev.
Alkdama pēc zvaigznēm kāri,
Dzīvojāta lapām pāri — arīsev, arīsev.
Skaties, ceļiniek, tur augstu, augstu gaisā,
Staigāziemelis un māsas lapas kaisa…
Viņšjau nežēlos, viņšmetīs tieši sārtā
Lapas dzeltenās un lapas tumši sārtās.
Nemanot tāmũsu lapa,
Nemanot par zvaigzni tapa — arītu, arītu.
Nemanot tāzemēkrita,
Sadegot tur pat, kur citas — arītu, arītu.
Skaties, celiniek, tur augstu, augstu gaisā,
Staigāziemelis un māsas lapas kaisa…
Viņšjau nežēlos, viņšmetīs tieši sārtā
Lapas dzeltenās un lapas tumši sārtās.
Tumši sārtās, tumši sārtās, tumši sārtās.

(translation)

Once upon a time there lived a leaf in a branch,
Lived past them - self too, self too.
Craving for the stars,
Lived across the pages - also for yourself, also for yourself.
Look, wayfarer, there high, high in the air,
A walking horse and a sprinkling of sister leaves...
He won't regret it, he will throw it straight
Leaves yellow and leaves dark pink.
Without noticing the page,
Without realizing it, a star was created - it would be, it would be.
Without realizing it, the earth fell,
Burning up where others would - would, would.
Look, keeper, high, high in the air,
A walking horse and a sprinkling of sister leaves...
He won't regret it, he will throw it straight
Leaves yellow and leaves dark pink.
Dark pink, dark pink, dark pink.
