| Veci puiši, jauni puiši
| Old guys, new guys
|
| Tie ir visās lietās klāt
| They are present in all things
|
| Tādēļ arī viņiem gribas
| That's why they also want to
|
| Mūsu dziesmu skandināt
| Sing our song
|
| Veciem puišiem tiem ir ziņa
| Old guys have a message for them
|
| Tā tas bija tā tas būs
| So it was, so it will be
|
| To pat katr (i)s muļķis zina
| Even every fool knows that
|
| Pliku roku neņems mūs
| The bare hands will not take us
|
| Tādēļ lai salaižam
| Therefore, let's connect
|
| Vecus jaunus slavējam
| We praise old and new
|
| Tādēļ lai salaižam
| Therefore, let's connect
|
| Vecus jaunus slavējam
| We praise old and new
|
| Ko nu lielies, ķeburkāja
| What are you bragging about, you jackass
|
| Lielīb' naudu nemaksā
| They don't pay a lot of money
|
| Kad tu reiz pie meitām gāji
| When you once went to your daughters
|
| Varēji tad sacīt tā:
| You could then say like this:
|
| Jaunam pieder stratosfēra
| Young owns the stratosphere
|
| Jaunam visa pasaulīt'
| Everything's new to the world'
|
| Līne, Trīne, pate Kate
| Line, Trine, even Kate
|
| Tam ap kaklu tā vien krīt
| It just falls around its neck
|
| Lustīga dzīvošan'
| happy living
|
| Lai tālu skan, lai tālu skan
| Let it sound far, let it sound far
|
| Lustīga dzīvošan'
| happy living
|
| Lai tālu skan, lai tālu skan
| Let it sound far, let it sound far
|
| Ko līdz nauda, kad nav jauda
| What is the money when there is no power
|
| Tā ir veca patiesīb'
| It's an old truth
|
| Vecais tik ar acīm bauda
| The old man enjoys it with his eyes
|
| Jaunais paņem, ko tik grib
| The young man takes what he wants
|
| Lustīga dzīvošan'
| happy living

| Lai tālu skan, lai tālu skan
| Let it sound far, let it sound far
|

| Take your doggy
|
| Līdz ar visu cekulīt'
| With all the cap'
|
| Un pa klusam šmauc ar viņu
| And quietly smacks him
|
| Gailenītes palasīt
| Galenites to read
|
| Jauns var meiču spiest pie vestes
| A young man can push a girl to the vest
|
| Nodreb visi kauliņi
| All bones tremble
|
| Meiča sarkst un ļauj tam vaļu
| The girl blushes and lets it go
|
| Pati mutes pretī sniedz
| Her mouth gives in return
|
| Lustīga dzīvošan'
| happy living
|
| Lai tālu skan, lai tālu skan | Let it sound far, let it sound far |
