Translation of the song lyrics Kam Ziedi, Mežābele - Ojārs Grīnbergs, Раймонд Паулс

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 wildflower flower so white
Beneath it is an old stone bench and table
It was May and we sat together
On the old stone promises it
Having flowers, wild bitter
As white, as white as happiness and as joy
Having flowers, wild bitter
Who flowers you and falls like snow
Time passes and no one comes here anymore
Even the drowning of the stone is already beginning
Time passes and the wild apple blooms in May
And the wind sang in the branches like then
It was May and wildflower flower so white
Beneath it is an old stone bench and table
It was May and we sat together
On the old stone promises it
