Já chci poezii [English translation]

Everyone just wants my sign or my money

Why is there noone who would like to talk with me about the Karl Hynek Mácha sonets?

I wouldn't really mind it

Dealing with Macha's trochees

but you only want my sign or my picture on your phone

and if I didn't give those to you, I'd be just a jerk

I want poetry, just a little bit of understanding

but here, where I live, you can't find it

What is my life good for, just some silly things all around

My heart of Don Quijot suffers because of that

Everyone just wants my sign or my money

Why is there noone who would like to cosider with me what van I should purchase

I would like to run during a summer twilight

And inflate its 4 wheels (the van's wheels)

hitch horses up and then disappear somewhere far in the south direction

Where are eaten bananas and drunk Coca-Cola

I want poetry, just a little bit of understanding

but here, where I live, you can't find it

What is my life good for, just some silly things all around

My heart of Don Quijot suffers because of that

Everyone just actually want too little from me

so that it works, so that it works, so that it works

But I'm no Saint Nicolaus

I'm no agent of the Czech crew

I would give you 20kč for gulash

and throw 100kč into your box

For all those orphans' houses and for Africa

For hungry people and for politicians' executions

Dissolution of NATO, but for that..

I want poetry, just a little bit of understanding

but here, where I live, you can't find it

What is my life good for, just some silly things all around

My heart of Don Quijot suffers because of that

suffers alot because of that
