Lyrics & translation
Verse
Před lety jsem tě neprávem proklel.
Years ago, I cursed you wrongly.
Vinu jsem hodil na tvoje ramena.
I threw the blame onto your shoulders.
Moře si vzalo, co chtělo mít.
The sea took what it wanted to have.
Zůstala jen tahle hořká vzpomínka.
Only this bitter memory remained.
Chorus
Zatajil jsem svou chybu za mlhou.
I hid my mistake behind the fog.
Odpusť kapitánovi ten starý rozkaz.
Forgive the captain for that old order.
Pravda vyplula na povrch.
The truth has surfaced.
Verse
Proudy byly silnější než tvé ruce.
The currents were stronger than your hands.
Útes se schoval v husté mlze.
The reef hid in the thick fog.
Já jsem byl ten, kdo ztratil směr.
I was the one who lost the way.
Ty jsi jen plnil mé rozkazy.
You were just following my orders.
Chorus
Zatajil jsem svou chybu za mlhou.
I hid my mistake behind the fog.
Odpusť kapitánovi ten starý rozkaz.
Forgive the captain for that old order.
Pravda vyplula na povrch.
The truth has surfaced.
Zatajil jsem svou chybu za mlhou.
I hid my mistake behind the fog.
Bridge
Dnes večer můžeš klidně spát.
Tonight you can sleep peacefully.
Tvůj kapitán přiznává svůj dluh.
Your captain admits his debt.
Chorus
Zatajil jsem svou chybu za mlhou.
I hid my mistake behind the fog.
Odpusť kapitánovi ten starý rozkaz.
Forgive the captain for that old order.
Pravda vyplula na povrch.
The truth has surfaced.
