Karel Kryl Idyla translation
Má idyla je vylhaná jak Praha Karla Plicky,
My idyll is lie as Karla Plicka's Prague
lže požehnání pohana, byť znělo katolicky,
The blessing of the pagan lies, although it sounds Catholic
tma v ubikacích bojarů a mraky nad Žižkovem,
The darkness in the battlements of the warriors and the clouds above Zizkov
a gauner vzdychá po jaru a vraždí ducha slovem.
And Gauner sighs for spring and he's killing the spirit by his own words
Rum do odlivky s valiem a dojati až k pláči,
Rum into a measuring cup with valium and we're moved to tears
jsme šťastni, když si nalijem, a jedno, kdo nám stáčí,
We are happy when we get high, and one who gives us
sbor ropuch zpívá rekviem, jsme s nimi na prameni,
The choir of the toads sings the requiem, we are with them on the spring
ač se lží ještě nežijem, jsme s pravdou rozvedeni.
Although we still not live with a lie, but we are with the truth divorced
