BEZ MIEGA ZIRGI
Man nakts ir nemīlama dusā doties
Arvien vēl prāti negrib darbā rimt
Un domas šķiras, zib, piekļaujoties
Kad jaunas ainas drūzmām nebeidz dzimt
Kā jaunus zirgus gani saistēs saista –
Ar varu jāspiež miegs, lai prātu tver
Lai nakti rāmi ēd –
Tie valgos sper
Tie visu nakti galvas gaisā snaista,
Skrej zviedzot rītu sveikt, kas gaismu laista
(Rainis)

GADALAIKU CILVĒKI
(Latvian version of the song “Season People”)
Parastā dienā kāds pretī nāk
Sīka sakritība uzrunā
Šķiet, visa pasaule mainīties sāk
Un drūmām dienām beigas ir klāt
Mostas dzīvības dzirksts, tā siltumu jūt
Smiekli rāmos viļņos plūst
Mēs dzimstam no jauna viņus satiekot
Mēs augam ik reizi viņus zaudējot
Vien uz gadalaiku viņi ir te
Un pēkšņi tie pazūd, kur bijis, kur ne
Sastrīdas, dodas projām vai mirst
To darbs ir galā, Tu esi dzīvs
Nevar otru pieslēgt važās sev klāt
Prieks par iespēju tikties lai ir spēcīgāks
Gadalaiku cilvēki iedvesmo un gaist
Ikvienam no mums par tādu būt ir savs laiks

AUTUMN NEWS
Lightly descending autumn news
Is whirling away in a dance
Conveying ominous signals
Throwing raindrops in my face
Hoar frost covers my stubbled chin
Tiny needles prick the tip of my nose
I prepare myself for sleep
I’m winterized
Lightly descending autumn news
Is tapping over the top of the leaves
Over the moorland and the blueberry fields
Are falling most safely kept dreams
Lightly descending autumn news
Has buried my hatchet in a leaf-mould heap
The battle is lost; I’m supposed to give in
To the drizzling rain and the freezing wind
Lifting me up, and dashing me down
Throwing me through uncountable branches
Tossing through thousands of leaves lying on the ground
I’ve got the greatest reward, being carried right past me
All that’s left is just an odour of loss
I’m forced to sleep in my rustling arbour
In pillows of moss, silently rotting off
Lifting me up, and dashing me down
Throwing me through uncountable branches
Tossing through thousands of leaves lying on the ground
The autumn consolidates its positions
Blowing away the warmest thoughts in skeins
We get old fast, what if instead of restarting
We’d try once reaching the very end
I’ve got the greatest reward, being carried right past me
All that’s left is just an odour of loss
I’m forced to sleep in my rustling arbour
In pillows of moss, until defiance returns
The autumn consolidates its positions
Blowing away the warmest thoughts in skeins
We get old fast, what if instead of restarting
We’d try once reaching the very end

LAPSU NAKTS
Zvaigznes atspīd debesīs
Mēness mirdz kā zeltains siers
Arī Tev, mans mazais zvērs,
Laiks ir gulēt iet
Nejoņo tā, mazais
Par laiku nevar ātrāk skriet
Atstāj vakardienai to,
Kas Tavu sirdi spiež
Sasegšu ar kļavu lapām
Pieglaudīšu klāt
Lai sapņu aitas rāmi nāk
Un Tevi ieaijā
Rīt būs atkal jauna diena
Bez bēdu pļavās diet
Skandināt pār kalniem smieklus
Ķert varavīksni ciet
Lapsu nakts, mans zvērs
Tevi sargā pūces acs
Pat ja atnāks cilvēks
Drīz vien nožēlos to pats
Lēnām laidies miegā
Trūkst jau Tevis man mazliet
Tu vien klusi ņurdot
Sapnī aitām pakaļ skrien
