lyrics

Un es pamostos autoostā
Sudraba migla vakara balasts
Sudraba miglai zobens cauri
Mani uzrunā kustības saraksts

Braucu tur, tur, tur, kur nevarēs atrast
tur, kur parasti nekāpj
tur, kur kādreiz es braucu
Tūkstošreiz, bet nu arvien retāk.

Visi skatās uz manām tukšajām rokām
Kad es ierodos ubagu ciemā.
Ubagu ciemā paģiru dienā
Nesamaksājamo parādu ielā.

Palīdzi saimniek.
Biļetei pietrūkst.
Līdz mājām. Līdz mājām.
Nozaga naudu.
Bet mammai vajag
Priekš zālēm. Priekš zālēm

Pietura Romija. Savu valsti,
Dzimteni būvē čigānu barons.
Taboru rajonus pajūgu sienām
Pases tur nebūs nevienam, nevienam

Karogā viņam
Būs divi zirgi
Bez segliem. Ar krēpēm.
Un divas sievas
Ar kailām krūtīm
Tur dziedās. Un spēlēs.

Ar manu biļeti ved līdz galam
Šūpojos visām pieturām garām
Kur manu uguni gaida ārā
Banderlogi no vietējā bāra

Braucu tur, kur nevarēs atrast
tur, tur, tur, kur parasti nekāpj
tur, tur, tur, kur kādreiz es braucu
Tūkstošreiz, bet nu arvien retāk.

//

And I wake up at the bus station
Silver haze the evening’s ballast
Through the silver haze a sword
The bus schedule speaks to me

I go where there is no finding
Where as a rule no one gets off
Where I used to go a thousand times
But nowadays rarely

Everyone is looking at my empty hands
When I turn up in beggars’ village.
In beggars’ village on hangover day
On the street of debts never paid.

Oh, help me, guv’nor.
I’m short for a ticket.
I need to go home.
They stole my money.
But I need medicine.
For mother. For mother.

Stop of Romia. A Gypsy baron
Builds his state, builds his homeland.
Districts of tabors, walls of carts
Passports needed for noone there, noone

And his flag
Will have two horses
No saddle. Just manes.
And two women
With naked breasts
Will sing there. And dance there.

My ticket takes me to the end
I’m swaying past all the stops
I see there waiting for my fire
Banderlogs from the local bar

I go where there is no finding
Where as a rule no one gets off
Where I used to go a thousand times
But nowadays rarely
