My feet have already walked
more than a single hill
even that steep slope
there under Ještěd
a song sounding in my ears
that I didn't used to know before
it's behind me, it's gone
everything I ever screwed up
I know, around here I know
every quiver of every tree
my teeth are full of dust
and my heels all scraped up
but now, when freezing air
is filling my lungs
what used to be is no more
and the earth is opening
When else should I set out for the journey
when else than on this cold and damp morning
That road and that song
are what connects me
to the world and to everything
I love so so much
and now, when the freezing rain is pounding on my cheeks
my God I swear on my soul
what used to be, may go to hell
When else should I set out for the journey
when else than on this cold and damp morning
I know, around here I know
even a couple of wander roots
and roadside ditches and shrubs
and a few steps aside
but now, when the first snow is whipping my face
my God I swear on my soul
now you will hear me laugh
but now, when the first snow is whipping my face
my God I swear on my soul
now you will hear me laugh
When else should I set out for the journey
when else than on this cold and damp morning
My feet have already walked
more than a single hill
even that steep slope
there under Ještěd
I yell along with roaring winds
the song I didn't used to know before
it's behind me, it's gone
everything I ever screwed up
