| Uz jūru Daugava tik rāmi plūst
| The Daugava flows so calmly into the sea
|
| Man šonakt ir uz tevi jāpagūst
| I have to catch you tonight
|
| Kaut tevis nav, kaut tevis nav nekur
| Although you are not, you are nowhere to be found
|
| Man pasmaidot tavs augums jāpatur
| I have to keep your height smiling
|
| Uz savām rokām, tā kā sniegpārsla, kas kūst
| On their hands, as the snowflake melts
|
| Man šonakt ir uz tevi jāpagūst
| I have to catch you tonight
|
| Teic, mīļotā, vai no svara
| Say, sweetheart, or out of weight
|
| Kam jānotiek ir dzīvē, kam
| What needs to happen is in life
|
| Gara, šī nakts būs gara
| Long, this night will be long
|
| Kurā viens otram uzplaukstam
| In which we prosper
|
| Pret prāta dzelzi, jūtu, asmens lūst
| Against the iron of the mind, I feel, the blade breaks
|
| Man šonakt tevi beidzot jāiegūst
| I have to finally get you tonight
|
| Kaut tevis nav, kaut tevis nav nekur
| Although you are not, you are nowhere to be found
|
| Man tevi kaut uz brīdi jāpatur | I have to keep you for a while |
