Lyrics
Má idyla je vylhaná jak Praha Karla Plicky
Lže požehnání pohana, byť znělo katolicky
Tma v ubikacích bojarů a mraky nad Žižkovem
A gauner vzdychá po jaru a vraždí ducha slovem
Rum do odlivky s valiem a dojati až k pláči
Jsme šťastni, když si nalijem, a jedno, kdo nám stáčí
Sbor ropuch zpívá rekviem, jsme s nimi na prameni
Ač se lží ještě nežijem, jsme s pravdou rozvedeni
Lyrics translation
My idyll is lying as Prague Karla Plicky
Lies the blessing of a pagan, though it sounded Catholic
Darkness in the boyars ' quarters and clouds over Zizkov
And the thug sighing after the spring, killing the spirit with a word
Rum into the tide with Valium and moved to tears
We're happy when we pour, and we don't care who turns us
The chorus of toads sings with props, we are with them on the spring
Although we do not live with lies, we are divorced from the truth
