Translation of the song lyrics Vaska Ballē - Normunds Rutulis

Vaska Ballē (original)

Tai ballē dzīvas skrēja zelta kodes
Un tabakas un vīni pokālos
Bet saimnieki bij taisīti no vaska
Un es no vaska uzrunāju tos
Tiem mašīnas un šoferi bij dzīvi
Un dzīvs bij vaska miesassargu bars
Es pataustīju vaska bija frakas
Un smokingi un deguni un gars
Trīs vārdus viņiem dāvināju dzīvus
Bet tie no vaska atbildēja man
Jā pulksteņi tiem tikšķēja uz rokas
Jā meitenes bij arī dzīvas gan
Aiz svecēm logā stundas lēnām kusa
Klāt sarkanbalti sarkans saulriets bij
Līdz Dievs to izdzēsa un tad pusmēness
Par pielūdzēju kļuva pusnaktij
Tā balle reiz man tomēr atmaksāsies
Uz kredīta man vaska spārnus dos
Bet mācīšos no senā grieķa kļūdām
Un tālu prom no saules turēšos
Tā balle reiz man tomēr atmaksāsies
Uz kredīta man vaska spārnus dos
Bet mācīšos no senā grieķa kļūdām
Un tālu prom no saules turēšos
Tie dzīvu zeltu lēja vaska rīklēs
Tiem mutēs skrēja dzīvas austeres
Es runāju ar viņiem it kā pusdzīvs
Bet uzmanīgs kā lapsa biju es
Tā balle reiz man tomēr atmaksāsies
Uz kredīta man vaska spārnus dos
Bet mācīšos no senā grieķa kļūdām
Un tālu prom no saules turēšos
Tā balle reiz man tomēr atmaksāsies
Uz kredīta man vaska spārnus dos
Bet mācīšos no senā grieķa kļūdām
Un tālu prom no saules turēšos

Vaska Ballē (translation)

Golden moths ran alive in that ball
And tobaccos and wines in cups
But the hosts were made of wax
And I spoke to them from the wax
Their cars and drivers were alive
And alive was a swarm of wax bodyguards
I felt the wax was tailcoats
And tuxedos and noses and spirits
I gave them three names alive
But the wax ones answered me
Yes, the clocks were ticking on their wrists
Yes, the girls were also alive
Behind the candles in the window, the hours slowly passed
There was a red-white red sunset
Until God erased it and then the crescent moon
Became a worshiper of midnight
That ball will pay off for me one day
Will give me wax wings on credit
But I will learn from the mistakes of the ancient Greek
And far away from the sun I will stay
That ball will pay off for me one day
Will give me wax wings on credit
But I will learn from the mistakes of the ancient Greek
And far away from the sun I will stay
They poured living gold into wax throats
They had live oysters running in their mouths
I've been talking to them for half a lifetime
But I was careful like a fox
That ball will pay off for me one day
Will give me wax wings on credit
But I will learn from the mistakes of the ancient Greek
And far away from the sun I will stay
That ball will pay off for me one day
Will give me wax wings on credit
But I will learn from the mistakes of the ancient Greek
And far away from the sun I will stay
