MESA/GACHO Lyrics

Kas bija vakar
What happened yesterday?

Pirms mēneša, gada, mēģinam atcerēties atkal
Trying to remember what happened a month or a year ago

Un mums atkal neizdodas
And we still can't remember

Doties šodien, par rītdienu prieks ir neviltots
Going today with genuine excitement for tomorrow

Plāni kā jau katram mums ir vairāk, viss būs
As usual, we all have a lot of plans and hopes for the future

Uzcelt māju, iestādīt koku, nosist čūsku
Building a house, planting a tree, getting rid of a snake

Turpinam darīt kā līdz šim, ka neierūsam, bet
Continuing to do what we've always done, without feeling bored, but

Brīnamies, kāpēc jaunus iespaidus neigūstam
Wondering why we don't experience new impressions

Drosme sapņot, bailes darīt, rītdien viss jau saplānots
Have the courage to dream, fear to act, everything is already planned for tomorrow

Tad labāk parīt
Then it's better to do it tomorrow

Ķeramies klāt, bet atmetam
We start but then give up

Jo nesanāk, līdzīgi kā roķene uz estekādes
Because it doesn't work out, like a rocket on the launchpad

Tikko es kā grūtības sastopu, bez liekas domāšanas padoties grasos
As soon as I encounter difficulties, I am ready to give up without hesitation

Tikko es ka padoties grasos, izdzirdēsi kādu balsi man sakot
Just as I'm about to give up, I hear a voice telling me

Nevar būt tā ka Tu, kaut kur ej un nekur nenonāc
It can't be that you're walking somewhere and not getting anywhere

Katrs ceļš ir reiz sākts tākā stāsts
Every path started once, therefore it's a story

Uzmauc zābakus Tu, deviņjūdžu un dodies tālāk
Put on your boots, nine-league boots, and go further

Atklāt sev to kas vēl neatklāts
To discover what's still undiscovered

Ja man kāds lūgtu noraksturot sevi, k
If someone asked me to describe myself, then

As es būtu, kosmonauts vai grāmatvedis?
Would I be a cosmonaut or an accountant?

Profesija, tākā rinda ordeņu pie krūts, bet
Profession, as a row of medals on the chest, but

Vēl tik daudz nav redzēts un daudz kur vēl nav būts
There's still so much unseen and so much yet to be done

Ceļš nav grūts, grūtāk ir to iesākt
The path is not difficult, it's harder to start it

Pārvarēt bailes, iekams bailes pārvar manā vietā
Overcoming fears, until the fears overcome me

Vai vismaz atcerēties spēju, s
Or at least remember the ability to

Avu pirmo vārdu, pirmos soļus pirms es jau skrēju
Say my first word, take my first steps before I could already run

Ar pieri stenderē, nogaršoju bezmaz visu tabulu Mendeļējevu
With my forehead on the table, I tasted almost all of Mendeleev's table

Bet vai tas mani apturēja, protams ka nē, varbūt tikai čakarēja
But did it stop me? Of course not, maybe just annoyed me

Ir četras debespuses, redzu tikai Ziemeļus, p
There are four cardinal points, I only see north, therefore

Alūkojos apkārt, izkustinu kakla skriemeļus
Looking around, moving my neck vertebrae

Jo galvā tak ir smadzenes un nevis
Because in my head there are brains, not

Kieģeļi, izmantot šo potensiālu ko kāds ir iedevis
Bricks, to use the potential that someone has given

Atklāt sev, atklāt sev
To discover yourself

Atklāt sev to kas vēl neatklāts
To discover what's still undiscovered
