Lyrics
Na dvoře divadla
čteme Shakespeara
na dvoře divadla
Hamlet umírá
Slunce je kulisák
staví nám kulisy
z okna nám nadává
herec jakýsi
Herec který má
pět let do penze
a Shakespeare dostává
nové dimenze
není tu opony
a ani publika
tady se nekřičí
a ani nevzlyká
tady je nožem nůž
a krev je krvavá
tady se miluje
tady se nadává
Já sedím na klandru
a ty zas na sudu
a každý hercem je svýho osudu
nechceme angažmá
čtvrtletní prémie
křísíme Hamleta
který nás přežije
Na dvoře divadla
hrajeme divadlo
na dvoře divadla
hrajeme divadlo
Lyrics translation
In the courtyard of the theater
we read Shakespeare
in the courtyard of the theater
Hamlet dies
The sun is a stagecoach
he's building US sets.
out the window, he's calling us names.
actor
Actor who has
five years to retirement
and Shakespeare gets
new dimensions
there's no curtain
and not even the audience
there's no shouting.
and she doesn't even sob
here's a knife knife
and the blood is bloody
this is where he loves himself
this is where the swearing goes
I sit on the clandre
and you on the barrel
and every actor is his destiny
we don't want an engagement
quarterly premium
we're bringing Hamlet back.
who will survive us
In the courtyard of the theater
we play Theater
in the courtyard of the theater
we play Theater
