| Rāms ezers mākoņiem klāts stāv
| A calm lake covered with clouds stands
|
| Kā miglā ietinusies sala
| Like an island wrapped in fog
|
| Tie putni dzied, bet nepārnāk
| Those birds sing, but don't come
|
| Un dzelmei šai, vēl neredz gala
| And the depths of this, still do not see the end
|
| Caur tumsu dažkārt sala spīd
| The frost sometimes shines through the darkness
|
| Un putni maldās viļņu krokās
| And the birds wander in the folds of the waves
|
| Un vēl aizvien tik lēni dievu laiva slīd
| And the boat of the gods is still gliding so slowly
|
| Šai ezerā
| In this lake
|
| Kur, kur jūs, kur jūs peldat
| Where, where you are, where you swim
|
| Vai nedzirdat, jūs putni sauc
| Can't you hear the birds calling
|
| Hei, kādēļ mēmas slīdat
| Hey, why are you dumb
|
| Kad putni sauc
| When the birds call
|
| Rāms ezers mākoņiem klāts stāv
| A calm lake covered with clouds stands
|
| Jau atkal tajos izzūd sala
| The island is disappearing again
|
| Tie putni dzied, bet sala peld prom savādāk
| Those birds sing, but the island flies away differently
|
| Šai ezerā
| In this lake
|
| Kur, kur jūs, kur jūs peldat
| Where, where you are, where you swim
|
| Vai nedzirdat, jūs putni sauc
| Can't you hear the birds calling
|
| Hei, kādēļ mēmas slīdat
| Hey, why are you dumb
|
| Kad putni sauc
| When the birds call
|
| Kur, kur jūs, kur jūs peldat
| Where, where you are, where you swim
|
| Vai nedzirdat, jūs putni sauc
| Can't you hear the birds calling
|
| Hei, kamdēļ mēmas slīdat
| Hey, why are you dumb
|
| Kad putni sauc | When the birds call |
