Текст и перевод песни Michal Tucny - Černý Bill a bílá Nelly

Černý Bill a bílá Nelly

Byl černý jako ďábel černý Bill
A bílá jako víla Nelly, jeho milá
Miloval Bill svou milou ze všech sil
A celé noci černé víno pil

A za bílého rána vrávoral k své milé, ó Bille
Vadila se Nelly, je to slušná chvíle
Za bílého dne dobývat se k své milé
Už jsi zase pil, ne nevíš, co je černé a co bílé?

Zachmuřil černé brvy černý Bill
Ta slova věru nebyla mu milá
Hm, na to Bill, co na tom, že jsem pil
Ty jsi má Nelly, milá moje bílá

A ubohý Bill chce taky mít svůj díl
Bílou Nelly - ty zvíře, Bille
Sáhneš-li na mě, poslední tvá chvíle
Napomínala Nelly svého Billa

Ale Bill nevěděl, co černé je a co bílé
Do krve zbil svou Nelly černý Bill
Nic nedbaje na poslední svou chvíli
A do večera Bill svou Nelly usmířil

Na černou noc se proměnil den bílý
Můj milý, líbala Billa Nelly, víla vil
Zůstaň, miláčku, aspoň ještě chvíli
Nemohu, Nelly, čas je, abych pil
Samou láskou vyschly by mi žíly

Ó, Bille, zaťala nehty Nelly v Billův týl
Ty černá duše, tady máš svůj díl
Tvář samý obvaz, Bill se divil
A neví sám, je černý a nebo bílý

Byl černý Bill a byla bílá Nelly
Byl černý Bill a byla bílá Nelly
Byl černý Bill a byla bílá Nelly
Tak dlouhá léta spolu šťastně žili
A milovali se a pili ze všech sil

Ať černá noc anebo den byl bílý
Ať v černém pekle byli nebo v říši vil
Dvě děti měli
Když černý Bill se s Nelly oženil

Nelly, říkal, ta žába Bill je celý
Ale ten kluk se nějak pomámil
Byla jak ďábel černá malá Nelly
Byl jako Nelly bílý malý Bill

A Bille, říkala Nelly, tvá hlava také zbělí
Mlč, Nelly, říkal Bill
Ty víš, co černý je, a nevíš, co je bílé
Bělala hlava Billa, který černý byl

A nežli byla na padlý sníh bílá
Upil se chudák Bill, právě že tak pil
A chudák Nelly se žalem usoužila
Pod bílou kalinou hrob našel černý Bill

A černá hlína kryje bílou Nelly
A bílý červ se usídlil v hrob stmělý
A prach a popel po obou jen zbyl
Černý nápis kameník tam vryl:

"Zde leží Bill a jeho Nelly
Kdo boží nebe si více zasloužil
Kdo jenom miloval nebo kdo také pil
Pomodlete se za ně, jak já se pomodlil"

Black Bill and White Nelly

Bill was as black as the devil
And Nelly was as white as an angel
Bill loved his beloved with all his might
And drank black wine all night long

And at the break of dawn, he would stagger to his beloved, oh Bill
Nelly, you're arguing, it's a decent hour
To be conquering your beloved in broad daylight
You've been drinking again, don't you know what's black and what's white?

Black Bill frowned
Those words were not to his liking
Hm, to that Bill, what of it that I drank
You are my Nelly, my beloved my white

And poor Bill wants his share too
White Nelly - you beast, Bill
If you touch me, it will be your last moment
Nelly warned her Bill

But Bill didn't know what was black and what was white
Black Bill beat his Nelly to a pulp
Not caring about his last moment
And by evening, Bill had appeased his Nelly

Black night turned into white day
My darling, Nelly, you fairy of fairies, kissed Bill
Stay, my dear, at least a little longer
I can't, Nelly, it's time for me to drink
My veins would dry up from pure love

Oh, Bill, Nelly dug her nails into Bill's nape
You black soul, here's your part
Face all bandaged, Bill wondered
And doesn't know himself, is he black or white

Black Bill and white Nelly
Black Bill and white Nelly
Black Bill and white Nelly
For many years they lived together happily
And loved each other and drank with all their might

Whether the night was black or the day was white
Whether they were in black hell or in the realm of fairies
They had two children
When black Bill married Nelly

Nelly, he said, that frog is all Bill
But that boy somehow got mixed up
The little Nelly was as black as the devil
The little Bill was as white as Nelly

And Bill, Nelly said, your head will turn white too
Quiet, Nelly, said Bill
You know what's black, and you don't know what's white
Bill's head, who was black, turned white

And before the snow on the fallen ground was white
Poor Bill drank himself to death, just because he drank so much
And poor Nelly died of grief
Black Bill found a grave under a white viburnum

And black earth covers white Nelly
And a white worm settled in the dark grave
And only dust and ashes remained of both
The stonecutter carved a black inscription there:

"Here lies Bill and his Nelly
Who deserved more of God's heaven
Who only loved or who also drank
Pray for them, as I have prayed"
