Song for Marta Kubišová

Jakub (for you maybe) the world’s still strange
and every morning your hope ebbs away
just stay here Jakub (just stay here) with me
pray here with me
pray this black prayer

Jakub come with me
Jakub
to the white party
for thee
it’s thy pavise

Jakub come with me
Jakub
to the black party
for thee
thy great strength – me

You will have love
you will have power
you’ll have an angel for the night hour
for help, a black prayer
night after night Jakub joy will be near
never never Jakub you’ll never fear
Jakub, oh (Jakub oh Jakub) oh
neither worry nor
fear will you know

Jakub the day gleams
oh tell me
you’re yearning for night
night and dreams
for night and dreams
for night and dreams.
