Pitomý Chanson - Karel Kryl

Nejdříve se objímali, novináře zajímaly

Podrobnosti z jejich životů

Veliteli čestné stráže pokynuli z ekvipáže

Shlédli stojky sedmi Pierotů.

Ale potom:

Z krucifixu Krista stáhli

Na ruce mu nedosáhli

Rozdrtili dlaně o hřeby

Do čela ho posadili

Aby se s ním poradili

O předmětech denní potřeby

Nosili mu květiny a ozdobené koše

Stavěli mu slavobrány všelijaké

O prasečí štětiny na mramorové soše

Karty hráli s grobiány, s vrahy také, ale potom:

Nakrájeli Mesiáše na kostičky do guláše

Vsadili se, že ho vyloví

Sundali si epolety, k tanci hráli flašinety

Písničky pro hlavy sádrový …

At first they hugged, the journalists were interested

Details of their lives

The commanders of the honor guard nodded from the landing

They saw the stands of the seven Pierots.

But later:

They withdrew Christ from the crucifix

They didn't reach his hand

They crushed their palms against nails

They put him in the lead

To consult with him

About daily necessities

They brought him flowers and decorated baskets

They built gates of all kinds for him

About pig bristles on a marble statue

The cards were played with throbbers, murderers as well, but then:

They diced the Messiah into goulash

They bet she'd catch him

They took off their epaulets, played flute dancing

Songs for plaster heads…
