Tā zilā ilgu puķe, tā nav ne še, ne te
That blue flower of longings, it's not here, it's not there
Tā puķe, tā zilā puķe - nez, kur tā augusi?
That blue flower of longings - I wonder where it has grown?
To puķi, to zilo puķi - kur gan lai meklē to?
This flower, this blue flower - where should I seek it?
Cik simtu tūkstoš jūdžu pie viņas jāceļo?
How many miles do I have to travel to get to her?
Pēc zilās ilgu puķes ir velti meklēts sen,
The blue flower of longings has been searched pointlessly so long
Bet vienmēr meklētājus no jauna ilgas dzen
But longings are always driving the seekers anew
Tā zilā ilgu puķe, vai tā ir pasaulē?
That blue flower of longings, is it in the world?
Tā puķe, tā zilā puķe ir tomēr jāmeklē
That flower, have to look for that blue flower however
