A ty se ptáš, co já [English translation]

It's almost been a year

Since you were waving at me from the train

And now suddenly

One step in front of me

Hesitant voice

It just happens sometimes

What is there to say right away?

Just words, nothing more

And you're asking how I am

Am I healthy, how am I doing

Well, I live as good as I can manage

You know how it is

You were tempted to find me

Next in the line of phrases

A hundred miles away

You were actually present here

You wrote me a letter a few times

About how badly you miss me

Soon, however, as I know

You put up with that too

And you're asking how I am

How could I possibly be?

When the one who was supposed to stay

Decided to leave?

One doesn't want to sleep

And doesn't feel like eating

Day after day a thousand times

One asks: and what about me?

What could you possibly know

How the year slowly passes

How the shadow lengthens

Holidays without celebretions

What could you possibly know

How the bitterness soaks

Into four bare walls

When it is late in the night

And you're asking how I am

How could I not laugh about it?

It's too late, it seems

You should have asked back then

How am I supposed to understand you?

How to understand your words?

Maybe you were alone too

And you're asking how I am

It's almost been a year

So welcome

You wanted to see me

And now you can go again

I won't invite you in

What if someone sleeps there?

Someone, how am I supposed to know

Maybe it's your son

So take care

And you're asking how I am (2 ×)
