| Tu pasmaidi ar skatu žēlu
| You smile with a pity of sight
|
| Un acīs asaras tev mirdz
| And tears well up in your eyes
|
| Cik maz, cik maz ir īstu dēlu
| How few, how few are real sons
|
| Kas tevi mīl no visas sirds
| Who loves you with all his heart
|
| Tu viņus kopi, audzināji
| You took care of them, you brought them up
|
| Un savā klēpī auklēji
| And babysitters in his lap
|
| Un visi tavi spēki vāji
| And all your strength is weak
|
| Bij viņiem, viņiem ģeldīgi
| It was for them, for them
|
| Tu visu, visu, visu viņiem devi
| You gave everything, everything, everything to them
|
| Kas tev bij' visu labākais
| What was the best for you
|
| Bet tie tik izmantot zin tevi
| But they so use to know you
|
| Un slepeni tev zārku tais', zārku tais'
| And secretly you have a coffin, 'a coffin'
|
| Tie tevi mīlē tik ar mēli
| They love you so much with their tongues
|
| Bet viņu sirds stāv tālu tev
| But their heart is far from you
|
| Tie spēlē zemu viltus spēli
| They play a low fake game
|
| Lai tikai gūtu kaut ko sev
| Just to get something for yourself
|
| Tiem viss vienalga, kā tev klājas:
| It doesn't matter to them how you are:
|
| Vai tevi cildina, vai peļ
| Whether you are praised or won
|
| Ka tikai viņu makā krājas
| That only accumulates in their wallets
|
| Un viņu darījumi zeļ
| And their business is booming
|
| Tu visu, visu, visu viņiem devi
| You gave everything, everything, everything to them
|
| Kas tev bij' visu labākais
| What was the best for you
|
| Bet tie tik izmantot zin tevi
| But they so use to know you
|
| Un slepeni tev zārku tais', zārku tais'
| And secretly you have a coffin, 'a coffin'
|
| Un ja tu arī bojā ietu
| And if you perish
|
| Un tevi kapā guldītu
| And I would lay you in the grave
|
| Uz kapa rastu viņi vietu
| They would find a place on the grave
|
| Lai dzītu savu veikalu | To propel your store |
