Já chci poezii [English translation]

Everyone just wants my autogram or my money

Why nobody wants to talk with me about the sonets of Karel Hynek Macha

I realy wouldn't mind that

Discusing Macha

But you want an autogram, or a cell phone selfie

And if I don't give it to you, I'm a stupid asshole

I want some poetry, just some understanding,

But here where I live, you just can't find it

What's my life good for, all this petty garbage

My Don Quijot heart, suffers considerably

Everyone wants my money or my photo

Why nobody wants to discus what horse caravan to buy

I'd want to run through the summer dusk

Inflate all four wheels

Harness the horse, and disapeaer into the distance

In south direction

Where they eat bananas and drink Coca Cola

I want some poetry, just some understanding,

But here where I live, you just can't find it

What's my life good for, all this petty garbage

My Don Quijot heart, suffers considerably

They all actually want very little from me

Just so it runs, just so it plays, just so it works

But I'm no Santa Claus

I'm no pond shop agent

Here's a buck for your soup

And here's a couple bucks into your collection box

For all those orphanages, and for Africa,

For the starving, and for excecutions of politicians

For NATO dissolvement, but in exchange

I want some poetry, just some understanding

But here where I live, you just can't find it

What's my life good for, all this petty garbage

My Don Quijota heart, suffers considerably

Suffers considerably
