To bridge over the empty waters
by the Great Movement of a Single Mind.

Ano, ty poslední tóny,
vždycky ty nejvíce vzad,
to ty si s náma pohrávají,
pro ně jsme lehký jak peříčka..

.. A na vše pozdě je,
přestože sotva padla tma.

Only the bottle of liqueur knows
What I mean by these words

Only after someone saves you
You joke about life's overdose

Only
Nick of time
Can send you back
From where the Gods all started back a-while

*Life's overdose sounds so funny after all.

Nechtěná pravda
Se sama nabízí snad i těm,
Jenž za bílými slovy víry a strachu
Pomalu kradou

A tam kde nepsaná pravidla
Nás drží při životě
Já jednou svedu zapomenout

Na všechno z toho,
Za co před tak dávnou chvílí
Měli se mnozí zastydět

A vynést světlo pochopení
Pro všechny co chtějí
Zavřít oči a uvidět.

I see what you did
I see some people will never be
Even similar in a way,
And yes,
It took me this long
To finally see.

I realize what you feel
I realize some people will never have
A single thing in common,
And yes,
It took me this long
To realize.

I understand what you've thought
I understand some people will never think
The same way after all,
And yes,
It took me this long
To understand.

Yes,
It took me this long
To understand the single fact.

I remember all of the
Shattered glass
Of every pain that put
Me here,

The unbearable sound of its
Submissiveness
With its meaning long lost
In the wind

..a tak pište přátelé,

- neboť nepřátel nemám -

pište dál,

snad je to to poslední,

co nám zbylo udělat.

Je to jak vystřižené z filmu
A scény jsou dlouhé jak rok
Ale ten režisér stojí támhle
Někde tak daleko
Jak by mohl vskutku rozumět
Příběhu těchhle dob

Když se poslední záběry točili
A že z tak mála vzniklo tolik ran
A to všechno odešlo, jak přišlo
Že nikdo toho nebyl svědkem
Tlačí mě to u srdce
Ale radši budu sám.

Doesn't matter where I am
If I am dead or awake,
For everywhere I'll go I'll be aware
Of all the places where I am not
Of all the air I'm not breathing in
Of all the moments of someone else's life

In-there it holds a hell of a mist

A mist so intense I cease to exist

Say it's true,
that life's worth all the dying
we do.

The muted state of this world
Keeps disturbing
The shivering noise of my thoughts

..Then I close my eyes..

THE SAXOPHONES OF THE WORLD

I heard them saxophones
In the air

I heard the only saxophone
In this whole world
With its tunes
Floating
High

I once heard the song of a saxophonist
Who died in the gutter,

However,
Something about painting the open seas
is so refreshing.

I love you* from the deck rail
as when two ships pass, and there's
a mysterious longing and regret
in their passing
.

You said you'd tell me

something about

how does it feel to

lose it all,

not all at once,

but just slowly watch it

crawling away one thing

after another,

that feeling when you

sit there watching,

knowing too well

there's not much

you could do about it.

Well, after all,

I tell you,

I tell you how does that feel

to know too much

about yourself

and yet too little about

anything else,

I tell you I cease

to understand,

but no, I understand very well

every feeling you've ever

told me about, because

someone else has already managed

to explain it to me

a few times, which was

half a life before you

but is still just a couple of pages back.

How can I ever stand up again?

Now go ahead,

you tell me.. :

It got me into pieces but
I shall not be here
In pain anymore

Shivering life
& I love its poetry
But I must go.

A failed life
and a cheek-pinch
are quite alike,
they both hurt.

"O tom, co stalo se s námi doteď
Od té doby, nevypoví čas -
Čas někdy nejde měřit časem
Ale hloubkou změn v nás,"

To, že už si neklademe
Navzájem otázky tak složité -
Znamená jen tolik, že ty prosté
Stačí zodpovědět rozvitě,

"Z toho, čeho jsme litovali kdys,
Teď umřelo již víc než dost -
Vždyť dospěli jsme v průlom,
Jenž vše proměnil to na radost,"

To, na co vzpomínáme s úsměvy,
Že jednou bolelo za slzy prolité -
Dnes už jen těžko uvěřit,
Jak věci můžou vyznít dvojitě.

I've never thought I might hear you
Without a thing being told
Well and I've never thought you're not about to
Write again a single word

There's a rain on the inside
It falls,
It falls,
In tears,
Vanishes from the memory.

For what on Earth
You remain in what you do
May you still have
Blood in your eyes for me
What kind of sin that is
To fall in love with you

What kind of sin that is
To become one with you

We all lose in this game
Though

Even though
Your tiny heart's been broken
I remember you
We were one
Like the other
& lost in two

These visions
That remain
Are those which I pass through
Things I will recall
Are melting slowly a-way
& **returning to you

ovladatelnost
ohavnosti
nad
ohavnost
ovladatelnosti

Kratičké věty jenž v hlavě buší
Tajně strádám k večeru
Kde snář veků marně tuší
Kam se dnes v noci poberu

**Kratičké věty
A nad nimi kartičce bdět
Jsou spolu jeden
Kratičký svět.

Gently, so gently, as she breathes
And oh, what a vacuum she leaves

The moon was so majestic and delicate too
And oh I wished so much to bring it down for you
But the sun rose up and told me not to..

Yet the birds up in the clouds they slowly made a circle
Where they tangled up so perfectly, they sparkled
And then suddenly they melted away in a twinkle..

*..And I keep many more great memories of you.
