Lyrics of Vecā jūrnieka stāsts - Раймонд Паулс, Zdzislavs Romanovskis

Vecā jūrnieka stāsts (original)

Gana dzerts, nu, gana
Sirds vai gluži mundra
Kas tas — burinieks?
Hei, jūs, vecie jūras vilki, nāciet šurpu, hei!
Burinieks šūpojas tālumā
Kur aiziet tas rītausmas bālumā
Uz tāda reiz braucu pats
Kad biju jauns, biju stalts
Hei, draugi, vai viļņus tur nedzenā
Vai buras nav piepūtis gredzenā?
Kā jaunības dienās vējš tas pats, kas ceļā šalc
Ek, sirdī tas laiks vēl skan
Jūras vējš dzied spīvs
No draugiem, kas bij' reiz man
Tikai dažs vairs šodien dzīvs
Vasara, rudens vai ziema tā
Es pielāpu tīklus nu ciematā
Kā senajās dienās vēl
Kad biju jauns, biju stalts
Hei, draugi, vai viļņus tur nedzenā
Vai buras nav piepūtis gredzenā?
Kā jaunības dienās vējš tas pats, kas ceļā šalc
Ek, sirdī tas laiks vēl skan
Jūras vējš dzied spīvs
No draugiem, kas bij' reiz man
Tikai dažs vairs šodien dzīvs
Hei, draugi, vai viļņus tur nedzenā
Vai buras nav piepūtis gredzenā?
Kā jaunības dienās vējš tas pats, kas ceļā šalc

(translation)

Pretty drunk, well, pretty much
Heart or quite cheerful
Who is a sailor?
Hey, you old sea wolves, come here, hey!
The sailor swings in the distance
Where does it go at dawn
I drove to one myself once
When I was young, I was stately
Hey, friends, or the waves aren't there
Aren't the sails inflated in the ring?
As in the days of youth, the wind is the same as the wind
Ek, that time is still in my heart
The sea breeze sings
From friends who were once me
Only a few are alive today
Summer, autumn or winter so
I patched the nets in the village
As in the old days yet
When I was young, I was stately
Hey, friends, or the waves aren't there
Aren't the sails inflated in the ring?
As in the days of youth, the wind is the same as the wind
Ek, that time is still in my heart
The sea breeze sings
From friends who were once me
Only a few are alive today
Hey, friends, or the waves aren't there
Aren't the sails inflated in the ring?
As in the days of youth, the wind is the same as the wind
