Translation of the song lyrics Tas biji tu - The Sound Poets

Tas biji tu (original)

Zēns laivā sēž, skatās jūrā
Tur tālumā, tur domas aizslīd prom
Viņš dotos līdz, bet laiva pilna oļiem
Zēns nesaprot un skumst
«Man izdosies», zēns nočukst
Un oļus ved sev līdz
Uz sēkļiem skrien un netiek ne no vietas
Tie akmeņi, tie tur
Mēs tavām rokām mesti
Citām pacelti
Tu to atļāvi
Un tavā rokā likti
Kaut citām atnesti
Tu to atļāvi
Tas biju es
Zēns laivā sēž
Skatās jūrā
Zēns laivā sēž
Joprojām sēž
Mēs tavām rokām mesti
Citām pacelti
Tu to atļāvi
Un tavā rokā likti
Kaut citām atnesti
Tu to atļāvi
Tas biji tu, tas biji tu
Tas biji tu, tas biji tu
Tas biju es…

Tas biji tu (translation)

The boy is sitting in a boat, looking at the sea
There in the distance, there thoughts slip away
He would go up, but the boat was full of pebbles
The boy does not understand and is sad
"I'll succeed," the boy whispers
And take the pebbles with you
Runs on the shores and is out of place
Those stones, they're there
We are thrown into your hands
Others raised
You allowed it
And put in your hand
While others were brought
You allowed it
It was me
The boy is sitting in the boat
Staring at the sea
The boy is sitting in the boat
Still sitting
We are thrown into your hands
Others raised
You allowed it
And put in your hand
While others were brought
You allowed it
It was you, it was you
It was you, it was you
It was me…
