Ballet-o-mania

Happily again, I laugh by the window
In my yard, cretins are dancing
They do it better than normal people
For them it seems more real
 
They do it better than normal people
For them it seems more real
They do it better than normal people
For them it seems more real
 
Um-pa-pa, um-pa-pa, tra-la-la
Cretins are dancing, dancing
Um-pa-pa, um-pa-pa, tra-la-la
I stand and laugh, laugh
 
With legs bowed out
Balleto-balleto-balleto-ballet-o-mania
With legs bowed out
A little swan’s ballet-o-graphomania
 
In my yard is a bit of dust
Some of the cretins have already disappeared from there
There are still a lot of cretins in the world
Others come to take their place, driving cars
 
There are still a lot of cretins in the world
Others come to take their place, driving cars
There are still a lot of cretins in the world
Others come to take their place, driving cars
 
Um-pa-pa, um-pa-pa, tra-la-la
Cretins are dancing, dancing
Um-pa-pa, um-pa-pa, tra-la-la
I stand and laugh, laugh
 
With legs bowed out
Balleto-balleto-balleto-ballet-o-mania
With legs bowed out
A little swan’s ballet-o-graphomania
 
Cretins are dancing day and night
I just stand and while away time
Complements smell like alcohol
How fine they seem to you, how solid their little footsteps
 
The ones that I’d talked about
They said that that’s still such an experiment
The real dance will be years later
Come by my window, I invite you all
 
With legs bowed out
A little swan’s ballet-o-graphomania
...mania...mania...mania...mania
 

Wedding

The night slowly goes by, it seems, it is walking by.
Dawn, the day is dawning.
The party‘s ending, the party’s ending,
The chandeliers are growing dim, the chandeliers are growing dim,
Fresh dew is on the grass and right there, right there,
Right there are cakes, right there are glasses of champagne.
 
I realize I’m still in love with you
And this is just why this is not our wedding.
I realize I’m still in love with you
And this is just why this is not our wedding.
 
The night slowly goes by.
The day is dawning.
The party’s ending, the chandeliers are growing dim, the chandeliers are growing dim.
The rain has stopped, fresh dew is on the grass and right there,
Right there, right there are cakes, right there are glasses of champagne.
 
I realize I’m still in love with you
And this is just why this is not our wedding.
I realize I’m still in love with you
And this is just why this is not our wedding.
 

Sun, Thunder, Daugava

The Sun placed Latvia
There, where the ends meet
White sea, green earth
Latvia had the key to the gate.
 
Latvia had the key to the gate,
Protector of the river Daugava
Strangers broke the gate
Into the sea fell the key.
 
The Thunder* threw bolts of lightning,
From the devils he took the key.
Latvia locked in death, life,
The white sea, the green earth.
 
The Sun placed Latvia
On the shore of the white sea
Winds stirred up the sand
What will Latvia’s children drink?
 
The Sun told God
To dig the Daugava.
Animals dug, God poured
From a cloud the water of life.
 
The water of life, the water of death
Flowed together in the Daugava.
I dip in a fingertip
I feel both in my soul.
 
The water of death, the water of life
I feel both in my soul.
 
The Sun is our mother
The Daugava is the nanny of our pains.
The Thunder, who delivered a blow to the devil
He is our father.
 

We are sustained by each other

We are sustained by each other,
And not by foodstuffs,
And the light from your eyes
Comes bigger than from candles.
 
All the world's pride is in you,
When you stand in profile,
And the darkness from your words
Hastens death.

All the world's pride is in you,

And the darkness from your words
Hastens death.
 
We will live beyond long,
Beyond far, beyond letters, which flutter away
We are sustained by each other,
And not by foodstuffs.
 
But souls smell,
Like night violets, while the night burns,
If we touch each other,
Forever shall rain down on us.

When I was in love with you

When I was in love with you, you were at the dentist’s
When I was in love with you, you went shopping
When I was in love with you, you lost weight
When I was in love with you, you became a vegetarian
 
When I was in love with you
When I was in love with you
 
When I was in love with you, you went to Jūrmala
When I was in love with you, you counted your freckles in front of the mirror
 
When
 
When I was in love with you, you filed your nails
When I was in love with you, you engaged in fortune telling
When I was in love with you, you were fighting for women’s rights
 
When I was in love with you…
 
You truly had a very bad cold and really needed to stay at home, for else it would have gotten even worse, and besides, people who take penicillin get so weak that they just want to sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep or, at best, read some once-popular novel which they picked up cheap when it was on sale last spring
 
When I was in love with you, you complained about the hot weather
When I was in love with you, you would just listen to Beatles records
When I was in love with you, you painted your lips pink and your nails purple
When I was in love with you, you were wasted twice
 
When I was in love with you…
 
When I was in love with you, you were in love with yourself
When I was in love with you, you were in love with yourself
 
And so we separated before getting to know each other
And so we separated before getting to know each other
And so we separated before getting to know each other
And so we separated before getting to know each other
 
When I was in love with you, you were in love with yourself
 
When I was in love with you
When I was in love with you
When
I
Was in love with you
