about

A love letter to a beautiful Latvian movie "Četri balti krekli" and its music written by Imants Kalniņš.

lyrics

[Lyrics by Māris Čaklais]

Starp mašīnām, motoriem, meitenēm
Uz ielu stūriem, kas salst;
Starp rēcieniem, rūcieniem, svilpieniem
Murgs vai sveiciens
Dzeguzes balss!

Ko tu, jocīgā, blandies pa pilsētu?
Basām kājām pa sniegu, kas dzen.
Nē, tavs "ku-kū" par naivu šim gadsimtam,
Tāpēc mēs viņu atmetām sen!

Mēs to norakām bedrē, sirds stūrī,
Bet, kad mazliet atlaidās sals,
Tad kā naiva narcise izlīda
Dzeguzes balss!

Mēs to atdevām vienai meitenei,
Viņa lika starp lapām, lai kalst
Un tā vienmēr, ja nesalst starp sniegiem,
Tad starp lapām kalst
Dzeguzes balss!

Un, ja meitene paraustīs plecus,
Tad tu nepaliec ilgi vairs tur.
Nevar prasīt, lai visi to saprot,
Ko tev nozīmē naivais "ku-kū"!

Ej kā apmātais, tātad kā brīvais,
Garām uzrakstiem "tirgus" un "cirks",
Hali-gali un šeika vietā
Vienu dzeguzes balsi pirkt!
