Daylight See the dew on the sunflower And a rose that is fading Roses whither away Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn I am waiting for the day . . .
Midnight Not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight The withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan
Memory All alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again
Every streetlamp Seems to beat a fatalistic warning Someone mutters And the streetlamp gutters And soon it will be morning
Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I musn't give in When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days The stale cold smell of morning The streetlamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning
Touch me It's so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me You'll understand what happiness is
A piece and a song (They danced one Summer) from a cult 1967 Latvian film "Elpojiet dziļi" or "Breathe deeply". Composer: Imants Kalniņš.
Lyrics:
They were dancing for one summer... They were dancing for one summer... They were dancing for one summer... And after that... After that... After that... Now each to his own destiny, Now each to his own destiny, Now each to his own destiny, Asks - What then should have been after that?
They were dancing for one summer... They were dancing for one summer... They were dancing for one summer... And even now Those light bulbs are running! At the tree tops look or at the sky, At the tree tops look or at the sky, At the tree tops look or at the sky, Light bulbs are running! Stars are running!
The days are running and line up in weeks. Each month becomes calmer... And then, Comes the time when [they] do not dance, And then the days like entangled wade...
So it happens - [it] passes and calms... So it happens - [it] passes and calms... So it happens - [it] passes and calms... But, when you are alone - Close [your] eyes and [it is] again like then... Close [your] eyes and [it is] again like then... Close [your] eyes and [it is] again like then... Light bulbs are running! Stars are running! Light bulbs are running...!
So we each for one summer, So we each for one summer, So we each for one summer, And even still those lapwings are yelling... Yelling like a question, a reproach, a query... Yelling like a question, a reproach, a query... Yelling like a question, a reproach, a query... While in eternal sleep [you] are descending.
