Translation of the song lyrics Bludný Holanďan - Karel Kryl

Bludný Holanďan (original)

Pod branou vitezu
co nikdy nevyhrali
bez zlatych retezu
a zvonu z katedraly
zeleny molodci
z romance ilusorni
po matce sirotci
po otci bezprizorni
hrajeme v karty
Ruzovy kavalir
uprostred povianu
zahodil bandalir
i savli z porcelanu
svet civi na zatku
zatim co setmelo se pasy jsou v poradku
a whisky na podnose
s tycinkou na rty
Hrajeme hbite
otrojite es —
tvar hadiho hrbetu
ci gotickych sosek
flinty jsou v zite
a na hlavnich res
a svoboda je tu kdyz bijem se o sek
— tot zvyk!
Dva centy zivotu
a slunce sbohem dava
hledame jistotu
ktere se nedostava
na hdle znameni
obojku otrokova
lezeme shrbeni
zaliti do olova
jakesi viry
Pamet je v bankrotu
a z domu nevychazi
cest stoji u plotu
a kamenim se hazi
cit s hlavou hovezi
vybira popelnice
a pravda?
Vitezi!
slepa jek reholnice
odena v diry
Rezave rano
a mlha jak med
tak podivne sladko
jek z chrleni krve
ctes co je psano
az k pismenu Zet
uz nekricis Matko
Je ticho jak prve
Jen vzlyk!
vsechny zdravi _carnifex@yahoo.com zijte blaze

Bludný Holanďan (translation)

Under the gate of the knight
which they never won
without gold chains
and the bell of the cathedral
green wolves
z illusory romance
after the mother orphan
after father homeless
we play in cards
Pink cavalier
in the middle of the call
dropped the bandalir
and porcelain sauces
the world is alive
while the passports are dark, they are fine
and whiskey on a tray
with a lip stick
We play fast
otrojite es -
snake's back shape
or gothic sauces
flints are in zite
and on the main res
and freedom is here when I fight for a second
- This habit!
Two cents a life
and sun goodbye crowd
we are looking for security
which does not arrive
on hdle sign
slave collar
we are hunched over
pour into lead
some viruses
Memory is bankrupt
and does not leave the house
roads stand by the fence
and I stumble
feeling with a cow's head
selects trash cans
and true?
Vitezi!
blind is a nun
dressed in holes
Rusty morning
and fog like honey
so strangely sweet
screams of blood
honor what is written
to the letter Zet
uz nekricis Matko
It's quiet as before
Just sob!
