Translation of the song lyrics Kas Dzīvo Tanī Pusē - Olga Rajecka

Kas Dzīvo Tanī Pusē (original)

Kas dzīvo tanī pusē
Kur vakarā ir rīts
Kur piepūsts ods pūš tauri
Un ziloņi kur sīc?
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē
Kur jūrā paisums plok
Kur saknes stāda gaisā
Bet asnus zemē rok?
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē
Kur kuģis vagu ar
Un traktors stāv uz enkura
Pa ziemu šovasar?
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē
Kur lidmašīnas lien
Kur gliemežiem liek spārnus
Lai tie pa gaisu skrien?
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē
Kur kurpes galvā mauc
Kur neatļauts ir atļauts
Kur klusēdami sauc?
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē
Kur muti pirkstā bāž
Kur veselie guļ gultās
Kur slimie kalnus gāž?
Kur sekunde var gaidīt
Bet gadi — ai, kā zib
Kur muzikanti nespēlē
Kad daudzi dancot grib?
Kas dzīvo tanī pusē
Kur vilki vaid un blēj
Kur jāsmejas, kad jāraud
Kur nepļauj to, ko sēj?
Es nezinu, es nezinu
Es kļūdīšos varbūt
Bet vai tev, draudziņ, nešķiet
Ka tā var arī būt?

(translation)

Who lives on that side
Where evening is morning
Where an inflated mosquito blows a horn
And where are the elephants?
Who lives on that side
Where in the sea the tide falls
Where the roots are planted in the air
But do you dig sprouts in the ground?
Who lives on that side
Where the ship furrows with
And the tractor stands on the anchor
By winter this summer?
Who lives on that side
Where planes fly
Where snails get their wings
Let them run through the air?
Who lives on that side
Where the shoes are on the head
Where the forbidden is permitted
Where are the silent calls?
Who lives on that side
Where you put your finger in your mouth
Where the healthy lie in beds
Where do the sick move mountains?
Where a second can wait
But the years—oh, how flash
Where musicians don't play
When do many want to dance?
Who lives on that side
Where wolves howl and howl
Where to laugh when to cry
Where you don't reap what you sow?
I don't know, I don't know
I may be wrong
But don't you think so, my friend
That it can be?
