Lyrics & translation
Verse
Hedvábí se otírá o dřevo.
Silk brushes against the wood.
Oranžová látka na molu.
Orange fabric on the pier.
Slaný vzduch kouše do krajky.
Salt air bites the lace.
Boty klapou po palubě.
Shoes click on the deck.
Chorus
Vstaň, stará holko.
Rise up, old girl.
Síť je suchá.
The net is dry.
Moře čeká.
The sea is waiting.
Vstaň, stará holko.
Rise up, old girl.
Verse
Prach letí z kormidla.
Dust flies from the wheel.
Olejové skvrny na mém lemu.
Oil stains on my hem.
Rez se loupe pod dotekem.
Rust peels under my touch.
Dědeček tu nechal klíč.
Grandfather left the key.
Chorus
Vstaň, stará holko.
Rise up, old girl.
Síť je suchá.
The net is dry.
Moře čeká.
The sea is waiting.
Vstaň, stará holko.
Rise up, old girl.
Bridge
Zanedbání dnes končí.
Neglect ends here today.
Teď jsem kapitánkou já.
I am the captain now.
Chorus
Vstaň, stará holko.
Rise up, old girl.
Síť je suchá.
The net is dry.
Moře čeká.
The sea is waiting.
Vstaň, stará holko.
Rise up, old girl.
