Václav Neckář - Praze - translation of the lyrics into English

Lyrics and translation Václav Neckář - Praze




Praze
Praga
Mám jednu touhu strašnou
I have a terrible desire,
Přeju si potají
I secretly wish I,
Uvidět bránu Prašnou
Could see the Powder Tower,
A svézt se tramvají
And take a ride on the tram.
I když zmůže spánek
Even if sleep overwhelms me,
Po denní námaze
After a day's work,
ve snu jako vánek
I'll drift like a breeze in my dreams,
Si vanu po Praze
Through the streets of Prague.
neznám ani Michli
I don't know Michle,
A neznám Hradčany
Or Hradcany,
Mám s sebou ale bichli
But I have a book with me,
V je to napsaný
That tells me everything.
Kde najdu bránu Prašnou
Where can I find the Powder Tower,
A kde zní zvonků hlas
And where will I hear the sound of the bells?
A kde se potkám s kašnou
And where will I meet the fountain,
A kde je kino Čas
And where is the Kino Cas?
aby tady byla
I can't wait to be there,
Ta Praha věžatá
In the city of a hundred towers.
Mám v kapse čtyři kila
I have four crowns in my pocket,
To bude outrata
That will be enough to spend.
Koupím si v domě módy
I'll buy myself slippers for home,
Papuče pro doma
In the fashion house.
A budu zpívat ódy
And I'll sing odes,
Na tebe, Praho
To you, my Prague.
