Cristales de Bohemia
Joaquín Sabina
Bohemia Crystals
I came to Prague to break this
Song
For reasons I'm not going to explain to you
On the banks of the Vltava
The waves pushed me
To leave you to give you the reason
On the Charles Bridge I learned
To rhyme scar with epidemic
Losing manners
If you have to step on crystals
Let them be Bohemian, heart
Oh! Prague, Prague, Prague
Where love shipwrecks
In an accordion
Oh! Prague, darling, Prague
The condemned pay
Dear their redemption
Oh, Prague, Prague, Prague
Two fingers in the wound
And a saint in the attic
Oh! Prague, darling, Prague
The Moon is a dagger
Stained with tar
I came to Prague to found a city
One night at ten in the morning
Climbing to Mala Strana
Burning your flag
On the border of loneliness
Again to turn us inside out
To forget you again on every corner
Dancing among the ruins
For lack of love for the art
Of watering the soles of your feet
Oh! Prague, Prague... Prague
Where love shipwrecks
In an accordion
Oh! Prague, darling, Prague
The condemned pay
Dear their salvation
Oh! Prague, Prague, Prague
Where the snow extinguishes
The embers of the tablao
Oh! Prague, darling, Prague
Tear that is rinsed
In Wenceslas Square
Oh, Prague, Prague, Prague
Two fingers in the wound
And a saint in the attic
Oh! Prague, darling, Prague
The Moon is a dagger
Stained with tar
