Jednom su sadili lipu [English translation]

Once upon a time they planted a linden tree

Old Nestorov, mister Čeda and one another

I was new in that story

Neighbor's kid whom they let watch

Old Nestorov, while burning the weeds

Said to me: You are Young

You will enjoy its shade

Once upon a time I loved truly

I'm talking about the real love, crazy and powerful

I drove a thousand miles

Just like that ugly Frenchman in the beautiful movie

I followed the tracks under the engine

But she saved me

And she extinguished all the others

Hey, everything comes to its own

I'm familiar with the rules

Only the sadness is counted

Hey, once again, bells sound the St. Luke's day

It's autumn's fault

That I am always in the blue

Once upon a time she passed by me

With a guy whom I have known

I was ready to say hello

But she turned her head in time

For me to feel the blues

In my head

We said a stupid hi, and nodded the heads

All that what one has to do

It's OK, my doll, it's OK

Once upon a time they burned the leaves from that linden tree

Smoke climbed under the heavens

Up there they are, because they are gone,

Old Nestorov, mister Čeda and one another

He who didn't understant the tree

Before planting it

He never did anything

And he will realise once

That he doesn't know what's shade
