Translation of the song lyrics Šī nakts būs gara - Andris Bērziņš, Раймонд Паулс

Šī nakts būs gara (original)

Uz jūru Daugava tik rāmi plūst
Man šonakt ir uz tevi jāpagūst
Kaut tevis nav, kaut tevis nav nekur
Man pasmaidot tavs augums jāpatur
Uz savām rokām, tā kā sniegpārsla, kas kūst
Man šonakt ir uz tevi jāpagūst
Teic, mīļotā, vai no svara
Kam jānotiek ir dzīvē, kam
Gara, šī nakts būs gara
Kurā viens otram uzplaukstam
Pret prāta dzelzi, jūtu, asmens lūst
Man šonakt tevi beidzot jāiegūst
Kaut tevis nav, kaut tevis nav nekur
Man tevi kaut uz brīdi jāpatur

Šī nakts būs gara (translation)

The Daugava flows so calmly into the sea
I have to catch you tonight
Although you are not, you are nowhere to be found
I have to keep your height smiling
On their hands, as the snowflake melts
I have to catch you tonight
Say, sweetheart, or out of weight
What needs to happen is in life
Long, this night will be long
In which we prosper
Against the iron of the mind, I feel, the blade breaks
I have to finally get you tonight
Although you are not, you are nowhere to be found
I have to keep you for a while
