I was a commoner, A simple soul One who had walked too many roads I was a traveler With a mind of my own One who had seen a different road Then you saw me walking Through the fields of sun-dried hay Couldn’t hear me talking Teaching silence to behave I was a commoner, a simple mind One who had seen a different life I was a traveler who skipped the time To see if birds will be alright Then you came and told me: “Busy thoughts are meant for gods” Couldn’t hear me talking See that I’m no God at all Most of us are skipping time to reach the praise Most of us are flying through an endless maze I was a commoner, A simple soul One who had seen his all before I was a traveler who skipped the time To see if birds will be alright

I gave my heart to the postman To that even when we’re miles apart, he’ll ship it off I shared my thoughts with a kind man Who sat on a broken box and wrote his days away A poet, a poet he was A poet he was I gave myself to the sea to keep the time safe from me And save my sanity The waves will be our judges They’ll try to see clearly for me For me “Won’t you promise me honesty,” – you so declared, “…a life free from vanity with just your mind at stake.” The world will give no discount to those who fake a grip And send a smile to those clowns who do not fear to sip Our paths may wrap and tangle and reach certain flair But in a second you’ll pray: “Love, please don’t cut your hair.” “Won’t you promise me honesty, a life free…free from vanity.” Go and put yourself on a yard sale, get rid of those aching bones. There’s still far to go.

Mātes sirds 03:28
Ceļa maizi mātes vainagos iepinušas Lai to klusā dziesma atpakaļ mūs sauc Saules starus pinot, ziediem rotājušas Mūsu mazo sapņu atslēdziņas, kas lielās durvis vērs Savu laimi mātes šūpulī ielikušas Lai mūs ieaijātu droši pasaulē Cauri zemes stīgām dziesmā iesējušas Savu mīlestību, kas, caur pļavām skrienot, pēdas kutina Mīļā mātes sirds Ceļa maizi mātes šūpulī ielikušas Kas ar lielu spēku pāri laikam plūst Savu mīlestību zemē iesējušas Lai ar basām kājām droši varam skriet pa ceļiem dažādiem Mūs ar ziediem rotā, smeļot drosmi saujās Asarām, kas klusi nožūst nemanot Skūpstot pacietīgi ceļus nobrāztos Mātes sirdī vietas nepietrūkst Mīļā mātes sirds

Tu esi miers 03:20
Tu esi miers, miers, miers Pasaule guļ mums pie kājām Ar tevi kopā ik vietu Es saucu par savām mājām Tu esi prieks, prieks, prieks Debesis augstas, balts klusums Es nolieku galvu Tev uz krūtīm un dusu Bezgala ceļi man ar tevi jāiet būs Bezgala skaists un kluss (tu esi spēks) Bezgala ceļi man ar tevi jāiet būs Bezgala skaists.... klusums Tu esi miers, miers, miers Zinu, sadegs šī dzīve radot Vai vari šim vienam mūžam Savu mieru man atdot?

about

Dārta Legzdiņa Latvia

A Latvian singer-songwriter.

“I am a traveler, a writer, explorer of peace and the infinity...I am an artist, a musician, a sister, a friend, but most of all - a dreamer. Music comes to me after an intense moment of silence..when thoughts and experiences accumulate and can’t be held in a notebook any longer.”
She writes music both in English and Latvian.
