Ja tu esi mans prezidents, stāsti, kā iet,
If you are my president, tell me, how is it going?
Vai šis ūdens ir dzerams vai nē?
Is this water drinkable or no?
Kā pa svaigi pļautu zāli var iet,
How can you walk on freshly cut grass,
Nesadurot kājas uz naglām?
Without stabbing your feet on nails?
Kā tu izvairies no AIDS
How do you evade AIDS
Un vai esi kādreiz bijis ASV?
And have you ever been to the USA?
Ja tu esi mans prezidents,
If you are my president
Ķer mani ciet, tu esi tāds pats kā es.
Catch me, you are just like me.
Ja tu esi mans prezidents, māci man zagt,
If you are my president, teach me to steal,
Zagt domas un būvēt pilis,
Steal thoughts and build castles,
Kur nebūs ne cigāru, ne auto, nekā,
Where there will be no cigars, no cars, no nothing.
Tur dzīvos sirdis, kurām nav ko mīlēt.
Hearths, which have no one to love, will live there.
Es nezinu kāds ir tavs totēms,
I don't know what is your totem,
Vai tev garšo piens vai zemeņu krēms,
Do you like milk or strawberry cream,
Bet, ja tu esi mans prezidents,
But, if you are my president,
Ķer mani ciet, tu esi tāds pats kā es.
Catch me, you are just like me.
Ja tu esi mans prezidents, nedod man daudz.
If you are my president, don't give me much.
Liec saviem ministriem pievaldīt zobus.
Tell your ministers to keep their mouths shut,
Dod prātu policistu nūjām, kad sist,
Give mind to the policeman sticks, so they know when to hit,
Raķetēm šaut un rozēm kad ziedēt.
When rockets should fire and roses should bloom.
Tu neesi ne dievs, ne velns,
You aren't God or the devil,
Tavas asinis nav sarkanā krasā,
Your blood isn't the color red,
Bet, ja tu esi mans prezidents,
But, if you are my president,
Ķer mani ciet, tu esi tāds pats kā es,
Catch me, you are just like me,
Tieši tāds pats kā es.
just like me.
