How to rotate table?

Question

Hi, I have some query that produces following result:
A                 B                  C                  D              
DATE              2013-01-31         2013-02-28         2013-03-31       
VALUE1            552488.86520999996 553429.08377000003 548169.86664999998
VALUE2            26883.37285        24362.411590000003 24697.108139999997
I would like to do 'simple' transposition and get result like this:
DATE              VALUE1             VALUE2
2013-01-31        552488.86520999996 26883.37285      
2013-02-28        553429.08377000003 24362.411590000003
2013-03-31        548169.86664999998 24697.108139999997
Now, if I use PIVOT clause, I get everything in one row only with different colums names. If I use UNPIVOT I get only two columns with mixed values and dates. It's quite useless for me...
So, how to achieve this? I search for quite simple solution, because real dataset is much, much larger and I would to avoid dynamic, monster queries :P
