Karel Kryl
Co řeknou ti páni, co, sedíce strnule
Plijí tu na ty, kdo opustí vlast?
Zas budou jen mlčet, jak mlčeli minule
Třásti se strachem a tiše si krást
Co řeknou ty dámy, co sedí tu s kukátky
Tehdy, až o pravdě zakážou hrát?
Vím, budou zas ochotně poslouchat pohádky
O tom, že pravdy je třeba se bát
Co řeknou ti všichni, kdo dnes ti tu tleskají
Tehdy, až mocní ti umlčí hlas?
Zas budou jen tančit, jak jiní jim pískají
Hopsat tak dlouho, až zlámou si vaz!
What will you tell me, what, sitting stiffly
Do they spit here on those who leave their homeland?
Again, they will only be silent as they were last time
Shaking with fear and stealing quietly
What will the ladies sitting here with the peepholes say?
When they forbid the truth to play?
I know, they'll be willing to listen to fairy tales again
That the truth must be feared
What all those who applaud you here today will say
When the powerful silence your voice?
Again, they will just dance as others whistle at them
Hop until they break your neck!
