Translation of the song lyrics Negaidi ziedus - Rēzija Kalniņa, Раймонд Паулс

Negaidi ziedus (original)

Negaidi ziedus, ziedu pilsētā nav…
Visi ziedi ir kapos, aiznesti mirušām sievietēm
Kas nomira tāpēc, ka nesagaidīja ziedus
Jo ziedu pilsētā nebija, ziedi bija kapos
Aiznesti mirušām sievietēm
Kas nomira tāpēc, ka nesagaidīja ziedus
Jo ziedu pilsētā nebija…
Tikai nedomā kārties
Tavu zārku noklās ar ziediem
Ar baltu rožu bijīgo apbrīnu
Un neļķu atzīšanos
Ar kallu svinīgiem bildinājumiem
Un hortenziju putām vieglām
Un neapgrūtinošam
Kā vīrieša sirdsapziņa!
Tev nebūs vienalga
Bet ziedu pilsētā nebūs
Visi ziedi būs kapos
Aiznesti mirušai sievietei
Kas nomira tāpēc
Ka nesagaidīja zidus
Jo ziedu pilsētā nebija

Negaidi ziedus (translation)

Don't expect flowers, there are no flowers in town...
All the flowers are in graves, taken to dead women
Who died because he didn't expect flowers
Because there were no flowers in the city, there were flowers in the graves
Taken to dead women
Who died because he didn't expect flowers
Because there were no flowers in the city…
Just don't think to behave
Your coffin will be covered with flowers
With the awe-inspiring admiration of white roses
And a carnation confession
With kallu solemn proposals
And the hydrangea foam is easy
And unburdening
How a man's conscience!
You won't care
But there will be no flowers in the city
All flowers will be at the graveside
Taken to a dead woman
Who died because of it
That did not wait for zidus
Because there were no flowers in the city
