| Chodil sám s kytarou hadry měl děravý
| He walked alone with a guitar rags he had leaky
|
| S kloboukem do čela smeknul a pozdravil
| With his hat on his forehead, he slipped and greeted him
|
| Neuměl číst ani psát jenom se usmíval a hrál
| He couldn't read or write just smiled and played
|
| Za ruma v hospodě svý songy zazpíval
| He sang his songs for a rum in a pub
|
| Svět byl dřív jinačí slzel a vzpomínal
| The world used to be a different tear and remember
|
| Na poli v konopí v konopí usínal
| In the field in hemp in hemp fell asleep
|
| Hraj ať tráva roste dál
| Play to keep the grass growing
|
| Hraj jak jsi tenkrát hrál
| Play as you played then
|
| Vysmátej s kytarou v podchodech
| Laugh with the guitar in the subways
|
| Zmizel už nevím kam ve snech ho potkávám
| He's gone, I don't know where I'm meeting him in my dreams
|
| Jako by pod oknem svý songy vyhrával
| It was as if he was winning his songs under the window
|
| Pak celej dům zavoní indickým konopím
| Then the whole house smells of Indian hemp
|
| Hraj ať tráva…
| Play let the grass…
|
| Celej dům zavoní indickým konopím
| The whole house smells of Indian hemp
|
| Hraj ať tráva roste dál, hraj jak jsi tenkrát hrál
| Play let the grass continue to grow, play as you played then
|
| Vysmátej s kytarou v podchodech
| Laugh with the guitar in the subways
|
| Hraj ať tráva… | Play let the grass… |
