Translation of the song lyrics Melnbaltā Dziesma - Pērkons

Melnbaltā Dziesma (original)

Melna zeme, melna debess, ezers melns un vakars melns
Neko labu jau tas nenes, klusi piezogas kā velns
Melna zeme, melna debess, ezers melns un vakars melns
Neko labu jau tas nenes, klusi piezogas kā velns
Melni viļņi ezerā baltu kuģi šūpo
Pašā ezer' maliņā sēž viens un tik žūpo
Kad viņš celsies, mājās ies, rīts vēl nebūs ausis
Pats ar sevi runāsies, kurš gan tādu klausīs
Kad viņš celsies, mājās ies, rīts vēl nebūs ausis
Pats ar sevi runāsies, kurš gan tādu klausīs
Melni viļņi ezerā baltu kuģi šūpo
Pašā ezer' maliņā sēž viens un tik žūpo
Un to puķi ezerā it neviens vairs nerās
Tā dzērāja līgaviņa pirtī balta peras
Un to puķi ezerā it neviens vairs nerās
Tā dzērāja līgaviņa pirtī balta peras
Melna zeme, melna debess, ezers melns un vakars melns
Neko labu jau tas nenes, klusi piezogas kā velns
Melna zeme, melna debess, ezers melns un vakars melns
Neko labu jau tas nenes, klusi piezogas kā velns
Melni viļņi ezerā baltu kuģi šūpo
Pašā ezer' maliņā sēž viens un tik žūpo
Kad viņš celsies, mājās ies, rīts vēl nebūs ausis
Pats ar sevi runāsies, kurš gan tādu klausīs
Kad viņš celsies, mājās ies, rīts vēl nebūs ausis
Pats ar sevi runāsies, kurš gan tādu klausīs
Un to puķi ezerā it neviens vairs nerās
Tā dzērāja līgaviņa pirtī balta peras
Un to puķi ezerā it neviens vairs nerās
Tā dzērāja līgaviņa pirtī balta peras
Melna zeme, melna debess, ezers melns un vakars melns
Tā dzērāja līgaviņa pirtī balta peras
Melna zeme, melna debess, ezers melns un vakars melns
Tā dzērāja līgaviņa pirtī balta peras
Pirtī balta peras

(translation)

Black earth, black sky, lake black and evening black
It doesn't do anything good, it steals like a devil
Black earth, black sky, lake black and evening black
It doesn't do anything good, it steals like a devil
Black waves swing white ships in the lake
There is one sitting on the very edge of the lake and soaking
When he gets up, he goes home, in the morning there will be no ears
He who will listen will talk to himself
When he gets up, he goes home, in the morning there will be no ears
He who will listen will talk to himself
Black waves swing white ships in the lake
There is one sitting on the very edge of the lake and soaking
And no one will see their flowers in the lake anymore
She drank white brides in the groom's sauna
And no one will see their flowers in the lake anymore
She drank white brides in the groom's sauna
Black earth, black sky, lake black and evening black
It doesn't do anything good, it steals like a devil
Black earth, black sky, lake black and evening black
It doesn't do anything good, it steals like a devil
Black waves swing white ships in the lake
There is one sitting on the very edge of the lake and soaking
When he gets up, he goes home, in the morning there will be no ears
He who will listen will talk to himself
When he gets up, he goes home, in the morning there will be no ears
He who will listen will talk to himself
And no one will see their flowers in the lake anymore
She drank white brides in the groom's sauna
And no one will see their flowers in the lake anymore
She drank white brides in the groom's sauna
Black earth, black sky, lake black and evening black
She drank white brides in the groom's sauna
Black earth, black sky, lake black and evening black
She drank white brides in the groom's sauna
White pearls in the sauna
