Ziemu apēst [English translation]

When it becomes cold

I want to eat up winter

Eat up snow

like a candy.

Fragile chips of the ice chunks

are hiding under the 7th rib

and then, when it becomes cold

I want to eat up winter.

But I can’t fall asleep at nights

when hurricanes are tearing the waters apart

Then I feel like a deserted island

or like a jug without a handle.

When it becomes cold

I want to eat up winter

Eat up snow

like a candy.

When it becomes cold

I want to eat up winter

Eat up snow

like a candy.

Through the dim kitchen’s window

Morning sun struggles in

As ships return to the harbor

So do I return in front of you

And as the poet had wrote once

There’s no such a thing like a big happiness

There are only small pieces of happiness

And now together we have each our own

When it becomes cold

I want to eat up winter

Eat up snow

like a candy.

When it becomes cold

I want to eat up winter

Eat up snow

like a candy.

I own a small piece of the skies

there - between Engure and Roja,

Every evening in the sunset

I fondle it through the window

And sometimes I’m drowning in tears

They are pouring down like form a jar

I’m just crying

Crying tears of joy.

When it becomes cold

I want to eat up winter

Eat up snow

like a candy

When it becomes cold

I want to eat up winter

Eat up snow

like a candy.
