lyrics

Pasaules gaisma

Uz galda avīzes, kas noliedz Pasaules gaismu.
Uz ielām Cilvēki, kas noliedz Pasaules Gaismu.
Manā dārzā pakāries putnubiedēklis
Vairs nespēj nevienu nobaidīt;
Tikai man un vēl pāris maziem bērniem,
Raugoties uz to,
Paliek mazliet skumji un dumji

Es dzīvoju lidojošā kolonnā
Ar nosaukumu “Pasaules gaisma”.
Raugoties lejā caur mākoņiem,
Es jūtu Pasaules gaismu.
Manai kolonnai garām lidojoša lidmašīna
Pamāj cauri Pasaules gaismai.
Bet lejā cilvēki piemiedz acis,
Veroties Pasaules gaismā

- Šonakt ir tumšs, - spīd tikai Pasaules gaisma;
Šonakt ir kluss, - spīd tikai Pasaules gaisma;
Šonakt ir auksts, - spīd tikai Pasaules gaisma.
…Apjaušot Pasaules gaismu, pieaug mūsu ilgas pēc nāves…
…Apjaušot Pasaules gaismu, pieaug mūsu ilgas pēc dzīves…



The Light of the World

There are newspapers on the table,
That deny the Light of the World.
There are People on the streets,
That deny the Light of the World.
A hanged scarecrow in my garden
Cannot scare anyone anymore;
Only me and a few young children,
While looking at it,
Start to feel a little sad and dumb

I live in a flying column
Called "The Light of the World".
Looking down through the clouds,
I feel the Light of the World.
A plane flying by my column
Waves through the Light of the World.
But people below squint their eyes,
When looking at the Light of the World

– it's dark tonight, – only the Light of the World shines;
it’s quiet tonight, – only the Light of the World shines;
it’s cold tonight, – only the Light of the World shines.
…Realizing the Light of the World, our longing for death grows…
…Realizing the Light of the World, our longing for life grows…
