Ka Svece Deg - Aija Kukule

Kā svece deg, cik skaisti svece deg

Cik balta liesma šūpodamās mirgo

Un tumsa bēg un atkal gaisma bēg

Un Dievs ar velnu manu dvēs'li tirgo

Bet svece deg, cik skaisti svece deg

Un atskrien vējš un manu liesmu baida

Kā parafīns pār sveces malām tek

Un kāds jau manu aiziešanu gaida

Bet svece deg, cik balti svece deg

Un tumsa kuplo galvu noliec brīnā

No sākuma līdz beigām balta deg

Līdz deglis lēnām ieslīgst parafīnā

Bet kaut kas blāv, vēl kaut kas gaiši blāv

Vēl manās acīs sveču gaisma mirgo

Bet priekšā lielais debess tirgus stāv

Kur Dievs ar velnu sveču dvēs'les tirgo

How a candle burns, how beautiful a candle burns

How a white flame swings

And darkness flees, and light fleeth again

And God trades my soul with the devil

But the candle burns, how beautiful the candle burns

And the wind cometh, and my flame is troubled

As paraffin flows over the edges of the candle

And someone is already waiting for me to leave

But the candle burns, how white the candle burns

And the darkness of the bushy head bends in wonder

From start to finish white lights up

Until the burner slowly sinks into the paraffin

But something is fading, something else is pale

The candlelight still flashes in my eyes

But there is a big sky market ahead

Where God trades the souls of the devil in candles
