Lyrics in Czech, and in English again

Spitál svatého Jakuba

Do spitalu se pomalu plouzim
Stona tam laska ma
Tezke myslenky souzi
Rozbresku se nedocka

Na vychode slunce vzplalo
Ja stojim na rozcesti
Nadeje zbyva uz malo
Zbyvaji jen bolesti

Spital je chladny a bily
Vzduch je tu k zalknuti
Ma mila kazdou chvili
Dusi svou vypusti

Uz nikdy mi nerekne kluku
Ja te tak rada mam
Uz nikdy mi nestiskne ruku
Ted budu na veky sam

Destem se domu plouzim
Pomalu jako ve snach
Ma mila uz se nesouzi
Nesou ji na marach

Boze muj at spociva klidne
V nebi je pohody vic
Nez na tomto svete bidnem
Neboli ji uz nic


St. James Infirmary
(Translated back into English)

I'm slowly shuffling toward the hospital
my love is there, lying sick
heavy thoughts weigh down on me
she won't live to see the dawn

The sun lit up the eastern horizon
I'm standing at a crossroads
Little hope is left
All is left is pain

The hospital is cold and white
The air is stuffy here
Any minute now
My love's soul shall depart

Never again will she tell me: "My boy
you know I love you so"
She'll never squeeze my hand
I'll be alone forever

I'm shuffling home through the rain
Slowly, as if in a dream
My love is beyond pain now
She's being carried on a bier.

May God grant her calm rest
Heaven is much more peaceful
Than this miserable world
No more pain for her now
