Paroles et traduction Hana Zagorová - Prý je mu líp

Prý je mu líp

Prý je mu líp - spí, nic ho nebolí.
Jen méně vrásek dřív míval.
Prý je mu líp - ví celé okolí.
To, o čem snil, ve spoustě chvil,
Odnesl náhlý příval.

Prý je mu líp - jen padl únavou.
Měl náhle málo sil, zdá se.
Prý je mu líp - měl duši bolavou.
Sám znovu najde cíl.

V jeho nekonečných cestách,
V kruhu manéží,
Vlastní smích, co lidem dával,
Stal se zátěží.
Ze své duše brával úsměv denně hodiny.
Nikdo nevrátil mu zpátky jediný.

Prý je mu líp - jen padl únavou.
Měl náhle málo sil, zdá se.
Prý je mu líp - měl duši bolavou.
Sám znovu najde cíl.

V nedostatku pohlazení nemoc pramení.
Nečekal, že krutě se mu všichni odmění.
Dokořán je duše klaunů něhou pohostí,
Alabastru podobá se křehkostí.

Prý je mu líp - jen padl únavou.
Měl náhle málo sil, zdá se.

Prý je mu líp - měl duši bolavou.
Sám znovu najde cíl.

He's Better Off, They Say

He's better off, they say - sleeping, pain-free.
He's got fewer wrinkles now.
He's better off, they say - everyone knows.
What he's dreamed of for so long,
A sudden downpour has washed away.

He's better off they say - just worn out,
He's suddenly lost his strength, it seems.
He's better off - his soul was aching,
He'll find his purpose again.

In his endless travels,
In the circus ring,
His own laughter, which he gave to others,
Became a burden.
He took a smile from his soul for hours every day.
No one ever gave him one back.

He's better off they say - just worn out,
He's suddenly lost his strength, it seems.
He's better off - his soul was aching,
He'll find his purpose again.

A lack of caress causes illness.
He didn't expect everyone to repay him so cruelly.
Clowns' souls are wide open and hospitable to tenderness,
They resemble alabaster in their fragility.

He's better off they say - just worn out,
He's suddenly lost his strength, it seems.

He's better off - his soul was aching,
He'll find his purpose again.
