Jinak to nejde [English translation]

Stanislav:

It's hard to accept the things as they are,

but there's no other way.

Stanislav, Petr:

It's hard to accept the fact,

there's no going on or turning back,

that those moments are long gone.

Hana:

I know I should accept the things as they are,

because there's no other way.

I know that I will change nothing,

but I keep on asking anyway,

why I should accept it.

Petr:

Everybody has so many ideas and wishes,

only to ignore his own.

This pondering does not take into count

the fact, that if it doesn't come true, the days keep changing anyway.

Hana:

No miracle, I wished just one thing -

to feel love before the dream is gone.

But all of a sudden I remain here,

keep on asking, why I should accept it.

All three together:

It's hard to accept the things as they are

but there's no other way.

It's hard to accept the fact,

there's no going on or turning back,

that those moments are long gone.

Stanislav:

What will comfort love that's no more?

In such moments giving advice is so difficult.

And now, when nothing but memories are passing through the room,

what's there to say, when the words are empty?

All three together:

It's hard to accept the things as they are

but there's no other way.

It's hard to accept the fact,

there's no going on or turning back,

that those moments are long gone.

It's hard to accept the things as they are

but there's no other way.

It's hard to accept the fact,

there's no going on or turning back,

that those moments are long gone.
