about

Teksta pamatā Heli Lāksonenas dzejolis "Gos un bērss" no krājuma "kad gos smei" Guntara Godiņa atdzejojumā, "Mansards", 2013.g.

Text based on the poem "Lehm ja koiv" by Finnish poet Heli Laaksonen. The feeling of being dead tired and looking at a cow calmly grazing under a birch tree.

lyrics

Es negrib stiept šito vēstul uz pastkast.
Es negrib zvanit Slimokass tantam.
Es negrib paturet prāta neven pinkod.
Dod man būt govei apakš bērz,
ņem man noguruš ād, met uz grīd
kamin prekša.
Es negrib nodarbotes a radišan.
Es negrib zubrit jouns aplouzumprograms.
Es negrib skaidrot māts-meits būšans.

The poem translated into English by Mark Phillips, Christa Prusskij

I want to be a cow under the birch tree

I don't want to be creative
I don't want to learn a new software program
I don't want to sort out the relationships of the mothers and daughters
I don't want to take that letter to the post office
I don't want to phone that woman at the benefits office
I don't want to memorise any more pin numbers.

Take my tired hide
and put it in front
of the hearth.
