Lyrics and translation Jaromír Nohavica - Na Dvore Divadla




Na Dvore Divadla
In the Theatre Courtyard
Na dvoře divadla
In the theatre courtyard
čteme Shakespeara
We read Shakespeare
Na dvoře divadla
In the theatre courtyard
Hamlet umírá
Hamlet dies
Slunce je kulisák
The sun is a stagehand
Staví nám kulisy
Sets up the scenery for us
Z okna nám nadává
Some actor shouts insults at us
Herec jakýsi
From a window
Herec který
An actor who has
Pět let do penze
Five years until retirement
A Shakespeare dostává
And Shakespeare receives
Nové dimenze
New dimensions
Není tu opony
There is no curtain
A ani publika
Nor audience either
Tady se nekřičí
Here there is no shouting
A ani nevzlyká
Nor sobbing either
Tady je nožem nůž
Here a knife is a knife
A krev je krvavá
And blood is bloody
Tady se miluje
Here we make love
Tady se nadává
Here we curse and swear
sedím na klandru
I sit on a barrel
A ty zas na sudu
And you sit on a tub
A každý hercem je
And each of us is an actor
Svýho osudu
In the play of our own life
Nechceme angažmá
We do not want an engagement contract
čtvrtletní prémie
Or quarterly bonuses
Křísíme Hamleta
We are resurrecting Hamlet
Který nás přežije
Who will outlive us
Na dvoře divadla
In the theatre courtyard
Hrajeme divadlo
We play theatre
Na dvoře divadla
In the theatre courtyard
Hrajeme divadlo
We play theatre
