Ivan Wernisch - Nic

Nic

Nic, nic a nic,

to je tvůj díl

Smíš ale závidět,

a to ti musí stačit, věř, je to pro tebe

víc, než si zasloužíš

Tolik o bohatství

A tolik o kráse:

Nic, nic a nic,

to je tvůj díl

Ale smíš se tím trápit,

a to je mnoho

Nemáš nic, nic a na nic

už nečekáš,

a to je tvé štěstí

Tolik o štěstí

Nothing

Nothing, nothing and nothing

that is your share

But you're allowed to envy

and that should be enough, believe me,

for that is more

than you deserve

So much for wealth

And so much for beauty:

Nothing, nothing and nothing,

that is your share

But you're allowed to worry about it

and that means a lot

You have nothing, nothing and nothing

to expect

and that is your happiness

So much for happiness
