Translation of the song lyrics Kam Ziedi, Mežābele - Ojārs Grīnbergs, Margarita Vilcāne, Valdemārs Zandbergs

Kam Ziedi, Mežābele (original)

Bij' maijs un mežābeles zieds tik balts
Zem tā vecs akmens sols un galds
Bij' maijs un sēdējām mēs divatā
Uz vecā akmens sola tā
Kam ziedi, mežābele rūgtā
Tik balta, balta tu kā laime un kā prieks
Kam ziedi, mežābele rūgtā
Kam ziedi tu un nobirsti kā sniegs
Iet laiks, un vairs neviens te neatnāk
Pat akmens apsūnot jau sāk
Iet laiks, un mežābele maijā zied
Un vējš kā toreiz zaros dzied
Bij' maijs un mežābeles zieds tik balts
Zem tā vecs akmens sols un galds
Bij' maijs un sēdējām mēs divatā
Uz vecā akmens sola tā

(translation)

It was May and the hawthorn flower was so white
Underneath, an old stone bench and table
It was May and we were sitting together
On the old stone bench it says so
Kam flowers, hawthorn bitter
You are so white, white like happiness and joy
Kam flowers, hawthorn bitter
For whom you blossom and fall like snow
Time passes and no one comes here anymore
Even the stone is already starting to get moldy
Time passes and the hawthorn blooms in May
And the wind sings in the branches like then
It was May and the hawthorn flower was so white
Underneath, an old stone bench and table
It was May and we were sitting together
On the old stone bench it says so
