Testo e traduzione
Verse
U zatopeného lomu každý rok zapaluji svíčky.
Every year I light candles beside the flooded quarry.
Na kameni leží jména pohřešovaných dělníků.
Names of missing workers lie upon the stone.
Táta mě kdysi učil nezapomenout jediné.
Dad once taught me never to forget one.
Voda mu vzala kamaráda, který ho zachránil.
Water took the friend who had saved him.
Chorus
Jedna svíčka zůstane pro tvého otce.
One candle will stay for your father.
Můj díky němu mohl zestárnout.
Thanks to him, mine could grow old.
Mezi námi šumí zatopený lom.
The flooded quarry whispers between us.
Tahle jména nenecháme vychladnout.
We will not let these names grow cold.
Verse
Žena přinesla fotografii v obálce.
A woman brought a photograph inside an envelope.
Poznala tátovu tvář na mém starém přívěsku.
She recognised Dad's face on my old pendant.
Její otec stál na snímku vedle něj.
Her father stood beside him in the photograph.
Oba měli na ramenou prach z lomu.
Both had quarry dust upon their shoulders.
Chorus
Jedna svíčka zůstane pro tvého otce.
One candle will stay for your father.
Můj díky němu mohl zestárnout.
Thanks to him, mine could grow old.
Mezi námi šumí zatopený lom.
The flooded quarry whispers between us.
Tahle jména nenecháme vychladnout.
We will not let these names grow cold.
Bridge
Řekla mi, že doma chybělo jeho vyprávění.
She said his stories were missing at home.
Poprvé se u těch jmen někdo zasmál.
For the first time someone laughed beside those names.
Chorus
Jedna svíčka zůstane pro tvého otce.
One candle will stay for your father.
Můj díky němu mohl zestárnout.
Thanks to him, mine could grow old.
Mezi námi šumí zatopený lom.
The flooded quarry whispers between us.
Tahle jména nenecháme vychladnout.
We will not let these names grow cold.
Outro
Příští rok přinese dvě židle a termosku.
Next year she'll bring two chairs and a flask.
Já vezmu fotografii, kterou mi nechala.
I will bring the photograph she left me.
