Bílý plášť - Josef Laufer translation in English

Bílý plášť

Čas byl odložen,
Není noc a není den,
Je jen vzdech jak tichý sten - nic víc.

Svet zmizel buhví kam,
Není zde a není tam,
Vše je pouze bílý klam - i tvá líc.

Bílý operačný sál a v nem stál tak sám
Uprostred hloučku jako chrám co dlouhé veky pretrvá
V boji navždy vytrvá
Dokud zpráva drtivá boj ukončí.

Dál tvé srdce tluče jako zvon,
Hrál to divadlo jen bez opon
Sám bez potlesku a bez poklon
Jen s touhou nesmirnou, žil svoji hrou.

Dál tvé srdce klape jako mlýn,
Sláb se cítil mráz nicoty klín,
Sám bez reportéru od novin
Tisíckrát zvítezil, tisíckrát snil - dál žil.

Lékar je jenom človekem,
Jehož ruce patrí všem,
Snad v nich skrývá mocný šém - kdo ví?
Sevrel večnost do dlaní,
S bázní, že ji poraní,
Uveznil ji bez ptaní
V očích svých

Prudké svetlo, bílý plášť, v očích zášť,
Tam stál, chránil tvé telo
Jako val, jež každé místo ubrání,
Neprátele zahání,
Je to jeho poslání a on to ví.

Dál tvé srdce tluče jako zvon ...

White Coat

Time was postponed,
It's neither night nor day,
It's just a sigh like a quiet groan - nothing more.

The world disappeared God knows where,
It's not here and it's not there,
Everything is just a white deception - even your face.

White operating room and in it he stood so alone
In the midst of a huddle like a temple that would last for long ages
In the battle he will always persevere
Until the crushing news ends the fight.

Your heart still beats like a bell,
It played that theatre just without a curtain
Himself without applause and without bows
Only with boundless desire, he lived his play.

Your heart still knocks like a mill,
He felt himself weak, frost's icy grip,
Himself without a reporter from the newspaper
A thousand times he'd triumphed, a thousand times he'd dreamt - he continued to live.

A doctor is just a human,
Whose hands belong to all,
Perhaps he hides a powerful scheme in them - who knows?
He clenched eternity in his palms,
With fear that he would harm it,
He imprisoned it without asking
In his eyes

Bright light, white coat, resentment in his eyes,
He stood there, protecting your body
Like a rampart that will defend every place,
Driving away the enemies,
It is his mission and he knows it.

Your heart still beats like a bell ...
