lyrics

Cilvēks uz ielas

Uz pelēkas ielas
Pelēka diena
Tiekas ar pelēkām
Cilvēku sejām,
Pelēks vējš noglāsta
Pelēkas matu cirtas,
Pelēks vējš noglāsta
Pelēkus uzacu lokus

Ielas abās pusēs
Paceļas daudzstāvu mājas,
Tik daudz dziesmu
Slēpjas šais mājās;
Pilnas istabas
Ar lēni mirstošām dziesmām,
Pilnas ielas
Ar dziesmām bez liesmas

Cilvēks uz ielas,
Cilvēks ik dienu,
Cilvēka domas
Pārvēršas sienās

…Ķieģeļu sienās
Un betona mūros
Starp logu un durvju rindām
Rēgojas citādas sejas…
MŪRIEM IR SEJAS!

A Man on the Street

On a grey street
A grey day
Is meeting grey
People’s faces,
A grey wind caresses
Grey locks of hair,
A grey wind caresses
Grey eyebrow arches

On both sides of the street
Apartment blocks rise
So many songs
Hide in these houses;
Rooms filled
With slowly dying songs,
Streets filled
With spiritless anthems

A man on the street,
A man every day,
Man’s thoughts
Turn into walls

...Between brick fortresses
And concrete walls,
Between the rows of windows and doors
Different faces loom...
THE WALLS HAVE FACES!
