Tahle Jedna Vteřina Lyrics Translation Emma Smetana | Richard Müller | Duety
Emma Smetana tells of two people in an hourglass, pulled apart by time. Richard Müller sings about moments that cannot be reset, asking if time can overlap in different places. Their voices blend in a warm, sincere performance.
My DvaThe two of us,
Jsme V Presypacich Hodinachwe’re in an hourglass.
Mluvime Ve Dvou RovinachWe’re talking on two different planes,
Z Niz Nas Jedna Tise Tahne Ke Dnuand one of them is quietly pulling us down.
A Pisek UbyvaAnd the sand keeps disappearing,
Tak Se Snaz Citit Ve Dvou Hladinachso try to feel across two different levels.
Jednou Se Navzdy Ukrej V HlubinachIn one, you can hide forever in the depths,
A V Druhe Vyrej Nase Jmena Na Skloand in the other, carve our names into the glass.
A Co Kdyz Se Cas ProlinaAnd what if time overlaps?
A Takhle Jedna VterinaAnd what if this one second,
Se Jinde S Jinou Protinaintersects with another, somewhere else,
Ikdyz Jsi Tam A Ja Jsem Tadyeven though you’re there and I’m here?
A Co Kdyz Se Cas ProlinaAnd what if time overlaps?
A Takhle Jedna VterinaAnd what if this one second,
Se Jinde S Jinou Protinaintersects with another, somewhere else,
Ikdyz Jsi Tam A Ja Jsem Tadyeven though you’re there and I’m here?
A Jako SvickaAnd like a candle,
Kdyz Hori Pro Dva Za Tichawhen it’s burning for two in the silence.
Ocean KrasyAn ocean of beauty,
Co Zvolna Vysychathat’s slowly drying up.
Jako PohledLike a look,
Co Ti Prave Visi Na Vickachthat’s lingering on your eyelids.
Takhle Chvile A Kafe V HrnickachThis moment, and the coffee in our cups.
Ja A Ty A Nase SpoluMe, you, and this ‘us’ that we are.
Se ZtracimeWe’re losing ourselves,
Vzdy Jak V Presypacich Hodinachjust like in an hourglass.
Jenzo Az Nam Pisen VyprchaBut once our song has faded out,
Nikdo Nas Neobrati Na Zacatekno one will flip us back to the start.
A Co Kdyz Se Cas ProlinaAnd what if time overlaps?
A Takhle Jedna VterinaAnd what if this one second,
Se S Jinou Jinde Protinaintersects with another, somewhere else,
Ikdyz Jsi Tam A Ja Jsem Tadyeven though you’re there and I’m here?
A Co Kdyz Se Cas ProlinaAnd what if time overlaps?
A Takhle Jedna VterinaAnd what if this one second,
Se S Jinou Jinde Protinaintersects with another, somewhere else,
Ikdyz Jsi Tam A Ja Jsem Tadyeven though you’re there and I’m here?
A Co Kdyz Se Cas ProlinaAnd what if time overlaps?
A Takhle Jedna VterinaAnd what if this one second,
Se S Jinou Jinde Protinaintersects with another, somewhere else,
Ikdyz Jsi Tam A Ja Jsem Tadyeven though you’re there and I’m here?
A Co Kdyz Se Cas ProlinaAnd what if time overlaps?
A Takhle Jedna VterinaAnd this one second.
A Co Kdyz Se Cas ProlinaAnd what if time overlaps.
A Takhle Jedna VterinaAnd this one second,
Se S Jinou Jinde Protinaintersects with another, somewhere else,
Ikdyz Jsi Tam A Ja Jsem Tadyeven though you’re there and I’m here.
A Co Kdyz Se Cas ProlinaAnd what if time overlaps.
A Takhle Jedna VterinaAnd this one second,
Se S Jinou Jinde Protinaintersects with another, somewhere else,
Ikdyz Jsi Tam A Ja Jsem Tadyeven though you’re there and I’m here.
