| Pod klenbou nádraží veselí lidé se smějí
| Under the arch of the station, cheerful people are laughing
|
| Hodina sudá či lichá, zní hovor a křik
| An even or odd hour, there is a call and a shout
|
| Třicet je kolejí, které se navracejí
| Thirty are returning dormitories
|
| Třicátá prvá je tichá jak tajený vzlyk
| The thirty-first is as quiet as a secret sob
|
| Možná někdo to ví, kam ty koleje vedou
| Maybe someone knows where those colleges lead
|
| A proč nastoupil smutek do vagonu
| And why grief got into the car
|
| (: za most betonový zelené vlaky jedou
| (: behind the bridge concrete green trains run
|
| Zbyly obaly z kytek na peronu. | There are flower covers left on the platform. |
| :)

|
| Pod klenbou nádraží Babylon řečí a zvuků
| Under the vault of Babylon station speech and sounds
|
| Z ostatních kolejí veselé vlaky jedou
| Merry trains leave from the other tracks
|
| Na této poslední obava roztřese ruku
| He shakes his hand at this last fear
|
| V ponuré naději, že snad už nepřijedou
| In the grim hope that they might not come again
|
| (: Prsten granátový barvu svou změní v šedou
| (: The garnet ring turns its color gray
|
| Ústa šeptají ještě a zasvítí blesk
| His mouth whispers more and the lightning flashes
|
| Každý dnes už to ví, kam ty vagony jedou
| Everyone now knows where those cars are going
|
| A proč s kapkami deště padá i stesk. | And why does rain fall with raindrops? |
