Song for Marta Kubišová

Jakub (for you maybe) the world’s still strangeand every morning your hope ebbs awayjust stay here Jakub (just stay here) with mepray here with mepray this black prayer

Jakub come with meJakubto the white partyfor theeit’s thy pavise

Jakub come with meJakubto the black partyfor theethy great strength – me

You will have loveyou will have poweryou’ll have an angel for the night hourfor help, a black prayernight after night Jakub joy will be nearnever never Jakub you’ll never fearJakub, oh (Jakub oh Jakub) ohneither worry norfear will you know

Jakub the day gleamsoh tell meyou’re yearning for nightnight and dreamsfor night and dreamsfor night and dreams.
