Lyrics & translation
Verse 1
Bratr mi napsal jediné slovo.
My brother wrote a single word.
Sněží, stálo na displeji.
It said snow on the screen.
Rok jsme se spolu nebavili.
We had not spoken for a year.
Teď stojí před naší brankou.
Now he stands at our gate.
Pod paží drží staré sáňky.
He carries our old sled.
V kapsách má dětské rukavice.
He has childhood mittens in his pockets.
Chorus
Postav mi dům ze sněhu.
Build me a house of snow.
Bez zámků a bez výčitek.
Leave out locks and blame.
Jaro si odnese stěny.
Spring will take away the walls.
My si necháme tenhle klid.
We will keep this peace.
Verse 2
Ze sněhu stavíme malá okna.
We build little windows from snow.
Střecha se pokaždé propadne.
The roof collapses every time.
Bratr se konečně rozesměje.
My brother finally starts laughing.
Mně v očích roztaje zima.
Winter melts inside my eyes.
Přinesu dva hrnky kakaa.
I bring two mugs of cocoa.
Sedíme těsně vedle sebe.
We sit close together.
Chorus
Postav mi dům ze sněhu.
Build me a house of snow.
Bez zámků a bez výčitek.
Leave out locks and blame.
Jaro si odnese stěny.
Spring will take away the walls.
My si necháme tenhle klid.
We will keep this peace.
Bridge
Omluva sotva projde hrdlem.
The apology barely leaves my throat.
Bratr mi podá svoji šálu.
My brother hands me his scarf.
Někdy se největší věci,
Sometimes the biggest things,
vejdou do malého gesta.
fit inside a little gesture.
Chorus
Postav mi dům ze sněhu.
Build me a house of snow.
Bez zámků a bez výčitek.
Leave out locks and blame.
Jaro si odnese stěny.
Spring will take away the walls.
My si necháme tenhle klid.
We will keep this peace.
Outro
Na střeše přistál černý kos.
A blackbird lands on the roof.
Zítra zas přijď, říkám bratru.
Come back tomorrow, I tell my brother.
