Nevidomá dívka [English translation]

In a garden behind a brick wall,

That was scrawled during the famous centuries,

There a girlie sits in autumn in the front of an arbour

With an eyepatch.

She lets herself to be told a story1 about the speaking bird

from a notebook

Then she sends a kiss by fluff of thistle,

To a fictional address.

Ch: Please, leave her alone, ah, leave her alone,

that blind girl,

Please, leave her play,

She is presumably playing the sun and the heaven after all,

And even if she was playing them, she wouldn't see them.

A story about the speaking bird,

And about three golden apple-trees,

And also about love, that is brought in the black flowers of poppies

by the horse-riders.

A story about a magic word,

That awakes every cursed one,

A story about a rainbow, that sleeps on an island,

Where you can find a treasure.

Ch:

Recital: In a garden behind a brick wall,

That was scrawled during the famous centuries,

There a girlie sits in autumn in the front of an arbour

With an eyepatch.

She is touching a flower with her hands,

And the butterflies don't bother her,

She's just playing a little with an amulet necklet,

Just for a while.

Ch:
