Mám jizvu na rtu (Jaromír Nohavica) - English lyrics
A Scar On My Lip (2008) 1) I am too old to believe in revolution, and I can hardly hide my big head in my hood, and I don’t like when a pre-cooked rice is being cooked, and in my pocket I carry Ventinol for when I feel ill.
The way I see it - I can hardly go through an eye of a needle, and I run through the woods in a way so that the wolfs don't catch me. And in case any of you asks about an angel: I've got a scar on my lip from the time when he stood by me.
2) There's some ash on my blazer, soot on my tie, my old fingers don't know how to tie knots on a cord. And when my tears stream down my face sometimes, I swallow them right away, and I dance only as fast as the music goes.
My eyes have seen a lot and my hands have held a lot, and my heart was ashamed when salves of glory resonated, And in case any of you asks about an angel: I've got a scar on my lip from the time when he stood by me.
3) I talked to presidents, met murderers, I came naked into this world and I will leave naked. When I was 15 I saw russian tanks go by, and when I was 50 I went to a gypsy fortune teller.
And before St Paul sees me at the committee I want to bow to poets of the Czech land. And in case any of you asks about an angel: I've got a scar on my lip from the time when he stood by me.
4) In Paris I was reading the russian version of L'humanité, and when I read the Bible I only understand the simple sentences, In New York, my lip got an inflammation from a plastic spoon, but the best coffee is still at U Rybiček in Hypernova.
I throw a trump ace on the stack of cards, and I would like to see Baník beating Barcelona And in case any of you asks about an angel: I've got a scar on my lip from the time when he stood by me.
5) Some people have a really weird taste, but I stil love you the same, my love. When you add mushrooms to a pot with onion, when you raise your finger like a conductor's wand.
And even if I'm getting pulled there and you some other way sometimes, I forget the bad things for the good ones.
And in case any of you asks about an angel: I've got a scar on my lip from the time when he stood by me.
