Lyrics of Māmuļai Latvijai - Zodiac

Māmuļai Latvijai (original)

Tu pasmaidi ar skatu žēlu
Un acīs asaras tev mirdz
Cik maz, cik maz ir īstu dēlu
Kas tevi mīl no visas sirds
Tu viņus kopi, audzināji
Un savā klēpī auklēji
Un visi tavi spēki vāji
Bij viņiem, viņiem ģeldīgi
Tu visu, visu, visu viņiem devi
Kas tev bij' visu labākais
Bet tie tik izmantot zin tevi
Un slepeni tev zārku tais', zārku tais'
Tie tevi mīlē tik ar mēli
Bet viņu sirds stāv tālu tev
Tie spēlē zemu viltus spēli
Lai tikai gūtu kaut ko sev
Tiem viss vienalga, kā tev klājas:
Vai tevi cildina, vai peļ
Ka tikai viņu makā krājas
Un viņu darījumi zeļ
Tu visu, visu, visu viņiem devi
Kas tev bij' visu labākais
Bet tie tik izmantot zin tevi
Un slepeni tev zārku tais', zārku tais'
Un ja tu arī bojā ietu
Un tevi kapā guldītu
Uz kapa rastu viņi vietu
Lai dzītu savu veikalu

(translation)

You smile with a pity of sight
And tears well up in your eyes
How few, how few are real sons
Who loves you with all his heart
You took care of them, you brought them up
And babysitters in his lap
And all your strength is weak
It was for them, for them
You gave everything, everything, everything to them
What was the best for you
But they so use to know you
And secretly you have a coffin, 'a coffin'
They love you so much with their tongues
But their heart is far from you
They play a low fake game
Just to get something for yourself
It doesn't matter to them how you are:
Whether you are praised or won
That only accumulates in their wallets
And their business is booming
You gave everything, everything, everything to them
What was the best for you
But they so use to know you
And secretly you have a coffin, 'a coffin'
And if you perish
And I would lay you in the grave
They would find a place on the grave
To propel your store
