Modi - Lucie Bílá traduction en anglais

Modi

Měl rozkousaný rty
a voči jako blázen
pak řval to slovo ty
a při tom padal na zem

Svý barvy rozmíchal
jak kuchta nóblová
sám skoro nedýchal
když štětcem čaroval

Já viděla ho pít
zlej absint nehorázně
pak chtěl voči skrýt
ty oči plný bázně

Měl šaty z manšestru
a při tom hodně praný
von ptal se na sestru
však sám měl voči panny

Byl krásnej jako bůh
a zlomenej svým steskem
von žil svůj divnej kruh
když dopil, sám byl bleskem

A šutr rozbíjel
jak vlašský ořechy
sám k ránu dopíjel
svý láhve útěchy

A se mnou dítě měl
však na to neměl prachy
a zimou když se chvěl
tak ve vočích měl safír

Já věděla kdy skoná
že příde určitě
ta jeho sláva o nás
za všechno prožité
ta jeho sláva o nás
za všechno prožité

Von krutý roky žil
a dneska prej je slavnej
i mě čas poškodil
a jsem tak trochu na dně

Von po třiceti zchlad
a nedotknul se vody
dost možná měl mě rád
a jmenoval se Modi
a jmenoval se Modi
a jmenoval se Modi

Modi

He had bitten lips
and eyes like a madman
then he yelled the word "you"
and while doing so, fell to the ground

He mixed his colors
like a noble cook
he barely breathed
as he worked magic with his brush

I saw him drink
wicked absinthe outrageously
then he wanted to hide his eyes
those eyes full of fear

He wore corduroy clothes
and very worn at that
he asked about his sister
yet he himself had the eyes of a virgin

He was beautiful like a god
and broken by his longing
he lived his strange circle
when he finished drinking, he himself was lightning

And he smashed rocks
like walnuts
he finished his drinks towards morning
his bottles of solace

He had a child with me
but he didn't have the money for it
and when he shivered from the cold
he had sapphires in his eyes

I knew when he would die
that it would surely come
his fame about us
for everything we lived through
his fame about us
for everything we lived through

He lived cruel years
and today they say he's famous
time has damaged me too
and I'm kind of at rock bottom

He cooled down after thirty
and didn't touch water
he might have loved me
and his name was Modi
and his name was Modi
and his name was Modi
