Nella terra del leone a due code

Kdykoliv zadívám se na Prahu
– a dívám se na ni stále
           a vždycky bez dechu,
protože ji miluji –,
obrátím mysl k Bohu,
ať se mi schovává už kdekoliv,
za hvězdnou mlhovinou
či jen za starým paravánem
           prožraným od molů,
abych mu poděkoval,
že propůjčil tu velkolepou scénu
i mému životu.
Mně i mým radostem
           a bezstarostným láskám,
mně i mým slzám bez pláče,
když lásky odcházely.

Jaroslav Seifert: Královský letohrádek
Whenever I gaze out on Prague
– and I do so constantly
           and always with bated breath
because I love her –
I turn my mind to God
wherever he may hide from me,
beyond the starry mists
or just behind
           that moth-eaten old screen,
to thank him for granting me
this magnificent setting
to live in.
To me and my joys
           and carefree loves,
to me and to my tears without weeping
when the loves departed.

Jaroslav Seifert: Royal pavilion
