Translation of the song Lapsa artist BrainStorm

Latvian

Lapsa

English translation

The fox

Lapsa Kūmiņš raugās

Reynard the fox is watching,

Raugās visās spraugās

Watching in all the gaps

Ielīst visur gribās

Wants to climb everywhere,

Norausies pa ribām

Will get hit in the ribs

Un tikko, tikko dienasgaisma aust

And as soon as the day comes,

Lapsa Kūmiņš iet snaust

Reynard the fox goes to sleep

Viņš taču nevar stereotipus lauzt

However, he can't break stereotypes

Viņš naktī ies savus labumus raust

And at night it'll go to profit for himself

Tad ķeriet viņu aiz astes

Then catch it by the tail

Ķeriet lapsu aiz astes

Catch the fox by the tail

Ķeriet kamēr vēl var

Catch while you still can

Lapsa Kūmiņš smaida

Reynard the fox is smiling

Mēs zinām, zinām ko viņš gaida

We know, know what it's waiting for

Bet var jau būt, piemēram, ka rīt

But maybe, for example, already tomorrow

Kūmiņš pārstās muļķi dzīt

Reynard will stop chasing fools

Un kļūs par svēto. Nesmīdiniet mani

And will become a saint. Don't make me laugh

Katram savas avis, katram savi gani

To each his own sheep, to each his own shepherd

Tad ķeriet viņu aiz astes

Then catch it by the tail

Ķeriet lapsu aiz astes

Catch the fox by the tail

Ķeriet kamēr vēl var

Catch while you still can

Katram savs

To each his own

Mīliet gudros un svētos

Love wise men and saints

Mīliet tos, kas grēko

Love those who sin

Mīliet dārgos un lētos

Love the expensive and the cheap

Darbadienās un svētkos

On working days and on holidays

Lapsa kūmiņš smaida

Reynard the fox is smiling

Mēs zinām ko viņš... mēs zinām, zinām...

We know what it... we know, know...

Ķeriet viņu aiz astes

Catch it by the tail

Ķeriet lapsu aiz astes

Catch the fox by the tail

Ķeriet kamēr vēl var

Catch while you still can
