Kázání v kapli Betlémské(original) |
Ač dnešní doba nepřeje už kostelům a chrámům |
Ač zájem lidí obrátil se ke kinům a krámům |
Ač zanícená kázání už nehodí se jaksi |
Do teorie životní a tím méně i v praxi |
Přec jen byl dobou která ráda hovoří o člověku |
Uprostřed Prahy zbudován památník Středověku |
A ten, který v tom kostelíku oblíben býval u farníků |
Pro plamenná svá kázání… |
Ten, který neznal, co je strach |
Ten, z nehož nezbyl ani prach |
Unášen kazatelnou asi znova |
Metat by musel krutá slova |
Do strachem nalomených zad |
Rozhoupat chtěl by stěny věží |
Protože s bojácnými stěží |
O pravdě hovořit by dokázal |
A nenašel by mezi všemi |
Toho kdo lidem v této zemi |
O pravdě hovořit by zakázal |
Poznatek do očí by štípal ho jak mýdlo |
Že lidé bojí se jen o své dobré bydlo |
Třesou se před záští maličkých kostelníků |
Svých vlastních sousedů, svých vlastních důvěrníků… |
Ten, který neznal, co je strach |
Ten, z nehož nezbyl ani prach |
Unášen kazatelnou asi znova |
Metat by musel krutá slova |
Do strachem nalomených zad |
Do strachem nalomených zad! |
(translation) |
Although today's times do not favor churches and temples anymore |
Although people's interest turned to cinemas and shops |
Although impassioned sermons no longer fit somehow |
Into the theory of life and even less in practice |
After all, it was a time that likes to talk about a person |
A monument to the Middle Ages built in the middle of Prague |
And the one that used to be popular with the parishioners in that little church |
For flaming his sermons… |
The one who didn't know what fear was |
The one with no dust left |
Carried away from the pulpit again |
He would have to hurl cruel words |
To the back broken by fear |
He would like to shake the walls of the towers |
Because with the fearful hardly |
He could speak the truth |
And he would not find among all |
The one who to the people in this country |
He would forbid speaking the truth |
The recognition in the eyes would sting him like soap |
That people are only worried about their good housing |
They tremble before the spite of the little churchmen |
Your own neighbors, your own confidants… |
The one who didn't know what fear was |
The one with no dust left |
Carried away from the pulpit again |
He would have to hurl cruel words |
To the back broken by fear |
To the back broken by fear! |
