Māsa nakts [English translation]

My heart is beating gently and anxiously

Silently, quietly I'll be on my way

To that place which is known only to my own people

It remains for others to follow or to wonder

You know, so seldom I can find a moment to be alone

That's how we run and run all these days

Soon I'll be asking a mirror: what's the face?

That's why I rise and go

Night

Sister Night is walking next to me

Already tomorrow

Tomorrow we'll be shot like mad dogs

Sister, don't be afraid, come

Also, start dancing with me

I want to move on alone,

Fall and rise, rise and fall

You wish me, wish me

Not to give up,

Make an honourable toast:

For wives to have big bellies

For husbands always to come back

Always, though late,

Sister, don't be afraid, come

Late

Also, start dancing with me

Always, though late

Sister, don't be afraid, come

Late

You already know that I'll always come back, though late.
