IV Jūs naktsmājas dosit – es teikšu – paldies Ja palikšu, kas manu ceļu ies? Es nezinu, cilvēki, kur manas mājas Vien balti putekļi putinājas Es ieraudāšos Bet, kad raudāt beigšu Es iešu pa mājām Un visiem teikšu Ka nav nekas dārgāks Par ceļiem šiem Kas aiziet uz rītiem Un vakariem. You will give me a dwelling – and I will say – thank you Who will be going my way in case I stay? People, I do not know where my home is There is just a white dust filling the air I will turn on the weeps But when I am done with weeping I will be going from home to home And I will be telling everyone That there is nothing more precious Than these roads Leading to East And West. /The Roads by I.
