| Měl modré oči, stoupl si mi do cesty
| He had blue eyes, you stood in my way
|
| tak zčistajasna, jak by z nebe spad',
| as clear as it would fall from the sky,
|
| sáh' dvěma prsty do kapsičky u vesty
| reach into the waistcoat pocket with two fingers
|
| a pak se zeptal: kterou vám mám dát teď zahrát?
| and then he asked: which one should I give you to play now?
|
| Řekla jsem si, ať to osud rozhodne,
| I told myself that fate would decide
|
| vsaďte si, pane, jako v ruletě.
| bet, sir, like roulette.
|
| Pak vhodil minci a já byla toho dne
| Then he tossed the coin and I was that day
|
| ta nejšťastnější holka na světě.
| the happiest girl in the world.
|
| Orchestrion hraje tu mou
| The orchestra plays mine
|
| a se mnou otáčí se sál.
| and the hall turns with me.
|
| Orchestrion hraje tu mou,
| The orchestra plays mine,
|
| nechci se ptát, co bude dál.
| I don't want to ask what's next.
|
| Snad jedenkrát mi láska víc,
| Maybe once I love me more,
|
| než jen tu jednu píseň dá.
| than he will give that one song.
|
| Krásná i smutná je
| She is beautiful and sad
|
| hlavně, když dohraje,
| especially when he finishes
|
| to vím i já.
| I know that too.
|
| Já vím, to možná ani láska nebyla,
| I know, maybe it wasn't even love,
|
| on se mi prostě líbil a nic víc
| I just liked him and nothing more
|
| i já jsem se mu možná trošku líbila
| I might have liked him a little too
|
| a víc jsme si už nestačili říct
| and we didn't have time to say more
|
| v ten večer.
| that evening.
|
| Proč vám to, pane, vlastně všechno vyprávím?
| Why am I telling you everything, sir?
|
| Vy náhodou jste pustil právě tu,
| You just happened to let go
|
| tu píseň, jejichž tónů se už nezbavím,
| that song whose tones I won't get rid of anymore,
|
| jak zněly tenkrát na tom parketu.
| as they sounded on the floor at the time.
|
