Paroles et traduction Helena Vondráčková feat. Karel Vlach se svým orchestrem - Strejček Hlad

Strejček Hlad

Bez hlavy a bez paty
Svět je jako pustá ulice.
Ještě k tomu včera, pane,
Vylili mi péra z bytu,
Motám se tu jako jepice.
Po cihelnách spím,
Ze smetí jím
A popelím se jako slepice.
Bez bytu a bez šatů
Jdou za mnou jen stopy zavátý.
Po všechny ty roky, pane,
Dupou za mnou kroky, pane,
A šlapou mi při tom na paty.
Když se ohlídnu
Zase vidím
Jen za sebou svý stopy zavátý.
Kdo to tu dupe?
Kdo to tu chodí?
Kdo mě to nenechá spát?
Ať jde svou cestou,
Ať mě nebudí.
Za mnou chodí strejček hlad.
Bez hlavy a bez paty
Mám život jak zmoklá slepice.
Kdo ví kolik roků, pane,
Třeba jen pár kroků,
Třeba zhasnu někde jako jepice.
Je to zatraceně jednotvárná
Zatraceně dlouhá ulice.

Mr. Hunger

Without a head and without feet
The world is like a deserted street.
Even yesterday, my Lord,
My apartment was flooded with quills,
Here I wander like a fool,
Sleeping in brick factories,
Eating from the garbage,
And dusting myself like a hen.
Without a home and without clothes,
I leave only snowed-in tracks behind me.
For all these years, my Lord,
Footsteps have been following me,
And they tread on my heels.
When I turn around,
I see again,
Only my snowed-in tracks behind me.
Who is stamping here?
Who is walking here?
Who won't let me sleep?
Let them go their own way,
Let them not wake me up.
Mr. Hunger is following me.
Without a head and without feet,
My life is like a drenched hen.
Who knows how many years, my Lord,
Perhaps only a few steps,
Perhaps I'll go out like a fool.
It's a terribly monotonous
Terribly long street.
