Translated version
"They told me to take a streetcar named Desire, and transfer to one called Cemeteries, and ride six blocks and get off at Elysian Fields."
Who says: Blanche (Scene 1). Meaning: This is an allegorical metaphor for her life's journey. Passion (desire) led her to spiritual and social death (cemeteries), and the final stop is an ironic "paradise" (Elysian Fields), which is actually her hell.
Original version
„Man liepė važiuoti tramvajumi, vardu „Geismas“, paskui persėsti į kitą, pavadintą „Kapinės“, pavažiuoti šešis kvartalus ir išlipti Eliziejaus laukuose.“
Kas sako: Blanša (I scena). Reikšmė: Tai alegorinė jos gyvenimo kelio metafora. Aistra (geismas) ją atvedė į dvasinę ir socialinę mirtį (kapinės), o galutinė stotelė – ironiškas „rojus“ (Eliziejaus laukai), kuris iš tiesų yra jos pragaras.
