Einfelde, Maija: Lūgšana


Lūgšana – Prayer (2003)

Lai zemei sāpes nav, kad mānas kajas to min.
Lai pukei jācieš nav, kad bērns vinu vainagā pin.
Lai avotam raudošos vilnus auklēt nav grūt’,
kad nakts ir tumša un gara,
un lai nav neviena, ja tas var būt, dvēsle bez saules stara.

Let not the earth feel pain when I tread on it.
Let not a flower suffer when a child makes a garland.
Let the spring water clam the crying waves with ease,
when the night is dark and long,
and let not a single soul, if that be possible, be without sunshine.

Words: Fricis Bārda (1880–1919)
Music: Maija Einfelde (b. 1939)
