"Tikai tā " ('Only Like This') by Liepājas Brāļi
Music by Uldis Marhilēvičs   Lyrics by Guntars Račs

 

One of the things that I loved most about Fabrika was the music that was played. It opened up a whole new world of sounds for me - groups that I had never heard of, but now count among my favorites. Looking back, it seems it took me forever to find the names of these groups and songs that are like treasures to me now, but with a little luck and some wonderful help along the way (LG/E:), I was able to do it. Here are the lyrics to some which bring back joyous memories of those crazy Fabrika days.

 

Tie ir mūsu sapņi, mūsu krāsas,
Kurās savu dienu krāsojam.
Tie ir mūsu sapņi, mūsu mēles,
Kuras mēs aiz zobiem neturam.
These are our dreams, our colours
In which we colour our day.
These are our dreams, our tongues
Which we don’t hold sometimes

Jo tikai tā var uzzīmēt
To visu, ko var iemīlēt
Sajā krāsainā pasaulē,
Sajā pasaulē.

Because only like that can we draw
Everything that we can fall in love with
In this colourful world
This colourful world.

Tās ir mūsu rokas, mūsu otas,
Kuras dzīves peļķē noskalo.
Tās ir mūsu acis, mūsu gleznas,
Kuras svešiem neizteic neko.

These are our hands, our brushes
Which we wash in life’s puddle.
These are our eyes, our pictures
Which don’t say anything to strangers.

N
āc uzzīme, kā tev iet šai pasaulē,
K
ā tev veicas šai pasaulē,
N
āc uņ uzzīmē
!

Come and draw how you are doing in this world,
How you succeed in this world,
In this world.
Piedziedajums 2 X (Chorus)

Tikai t
ā, tikai tā,
M
ēs varam  kopā vēl būt.
M
īlet visu, ko jūt
Mana sirds, tava sirds
Sai sapn
ī krāsainajā,
Kas j
ānosargā
!

Only like this
Can we still be together,
To love all that
My heart, your heart feels
In this colorful dream
That we have to save!

Dz
īve aizrit sīka, pelēcīga,
Ja nav kr
āsas, tavās kabatās.
Meitenes iet gar
ām, neatskatās,
Uz tiem pel
ēcīgiem neskatā
s.

Life passes petty and grey
If there are no paints in your pockets.
Girls pass along and don’t look back,
Don’t look at those greyish (pale).

O, O, O, O  ir j
ākrāso!
O, O, O O, ir j
ākrāso!

Oooo, we have to colour!
Oooo, we have to colour!

 
Istās krāsas ir jāmeklē,
Dzīvē jāmeklē
.
To look for the right colours,
To look for them in life!
