Josef Istler (1919-2000) — Labyrinth [oil on wooden panel, 1973]

[glossykris]

god I admire his bluntness

x

[arlw]

i see the birth and death of the universe

swimming around in your eyes

[lilaccatholic]

Can anyone tell me anything about this song and what it means? I heard it by chance, and I've absolutely fallen in love, but when I google it, I can't find out anything about it. I thiiiiiink it's Czech or Slovak, according to the little I found from the internet, but I don't know anything else. Any help is appreciated!!!!!!!

Kryštof - Srdcebeat (Heart Beat)

When a free fall comes one day,

Suddenly splitting up the night

Your tear like a waterfall

Your calling out for help

When all fades into a dream

We’ll have more losts than founds

Just one person in your team

And before your asking stops

Whether to float or to drown

Whether to burn on or burn out

My heartbeat, just for you I’ll let it sing

My heartbeat, just for you I’ll let it sing

When I’ve no strength to get up

My ceiling will become your floor

And silence even when I yell

And lock the world between four walls

When I can’t move from the spot

And I lie to everyone around

That my midpoint’s a corner

And I stop asking out aloud

Whether to float or to drown

Whether to burn on or burn out

My heartbeat, just for you I’ll let it sing

My heartbeat, just for you I’ll let it sing

[cervenakoviny]

Text je veľmi vlkodlačí, video zas rozpovedá mýtické kolo roka, kompletne s kováčom Svarogom, scénami z ľudského života a výmenou bohýň ročných období. (pomrky-mrk na mená tvorcov... ;) )

Lyrics are quite werewolf-like, video on the other hand relays mythical wheel of year, complete with smith Svarog, scenes from life of mortals and transition of seasonal goddesses. (also, there's one particular name among creators... ;) )

What does your header mean? And I don’t mean that in a “I was too lazy to use a translation app” way, but in a “it sounds like a reference to something or maybe a poem but I’m not sure” kinda way…

i'll give my own translation too, but let it be known to you that i am genuinely happy that you clarified you're not asking in the "too lazy to try n look myself" way

it translates to "I won't wash my hands for a little while, I don't want to take the pollen from your skin away from myself" and it's a lyric from the czech song called Skládanka (Little Puzzle, i think) by Jan and František Nedvědovi. the song is about waking up with your lover in the bed, it's a lazy slow morning and you don't want to get up but you have to part because the world needs you in work. it's basically just singing about how endlessly the singer loves his wife, that he just wants to be with her

my other favorite lines from it are!: • "Snad se mi zdáš, nebo nechápu nic, snad jsem jen blázen, co chtěl by víc, ty můj vánku, skládanko hezká z kouzelnejch chvil." // "Perhaps I'm just imagining you, or I don't understand nothing, perhaps I'm just a fool, which would want more, my breeze, beautiful little puzzle made of magical moments." • "A tvoje tvář je plná stop mých, začnu se bát, jestli to moje rád ti neublíží." / "And your face is full of my traces, I start to fear, if that loving of mine won't harm you."

while not my all time favorite song from them (that would be Růže z Papíru, translating to Rose made of Paper, or Tulácký Ráno, translating to uhh... Tramp in the Morning maybe???), Nedvědi translated n also wrote n then sung songs that i've all found out about from my parents when i was very little. their songs just remind me of the good times from my childhood

“Virgin and Child with Angels” (1620) Bartolomeo Cavarozzi

“Moje sestra v srdci je divoká 

Корона твоя"

The crown is yours”

Team ESC Germany commenting on all the songs is so weird, because they have no idea what people like. Someone will be like: I can see Armenia getting stuck in semi. Czechia is boring and there's nothing happening in the song. Didn't we hear the same song as Georgia a few minutes ago? Like, where? Where did you hear that?

Karel Kryl - Anděl English translation

Original lyrics:

Anděl

Z rozmlácenýho kostela

V krabici s kusem mýdla

Přinesl jsem si anděla

Polámali mu křídla

Díval se na mě oddaně

Já měl jsem trochu trému

Tak vtiskl jsem mu do dlaně

Lahvičku od parfému

A proto prosím, věř mi

Chtěl jsem ho žádat

Aby mi mezi dveřmi

Pomohl hádat

Co mě čeká

A nemine

Co mě čeká

A nemine

Pak hlídali jsme oblohu, pozorujíce ptáky

Debatujíce o Bohu a hraní na vojáky

Do tváře jsem mu neviděl, pokoušel se ji schovat

To asi ptákům záviděl, že mohou poletovat

A proto prosím, věř mi

Chtěl jsem ho žádat

Aby mi mezi dveřmi

Pomohl hádat

Co mě čeká

A nemine

Co mě čeká

A nemine

Když novinky mi sděloval u okna do ložnice

Já křídla jsem mu ukoval z mosazný nábojnice

A tak jsem pozbyl anděla, on oknem odletěl mi

Však přítel prý mi udělá novýho z mojí helmy

A proto prosím, věř mi

Chtěl jsem ho žádat

Aby mi mezi dveřmi

Pomohl hádat

Co mě čeká

A nemine

Co mě čeká

A nemine

Translation:

Angel

From a broken down church

In a box with a piece of soap

I carried home an angel

They tore his wings apart

He looked at me devotedly

I was a bit nervous

So in his hands I put

A bottle of perfume

So please believe me

I wanted to ask him

If he could, between the door

Help me guess

What awaits me

And what I can't avoid

What awaits me

And what I can't avoid

We gazed at the sky and the birds

Talking about god and playing soldiers

I didn't see his face

He was hiding it

Maybe he was just jealous of the birds because they can fly

So please believe me

I wanted to ask him

If he could, between the door

Help me guess

What awaits me

And what I can't avoid

What awaits me

And what I can't avoid

When he was telling me the news through my bedroom window

I crafted him a pair of brass wings

And that's how I lost my angel, he flew out the window

But my friend says he'll make an another one from my helmet

So please believe me

I wanted to ask him

If he could, between the door

Help me guess

What awaits me

And what I can't avoid

What awaits me

And what I can't avoid

Notes:

1. This isn't a direct translation, the point stays the same but I changed a few words so that it doesn't sound THAT bad if sung with the song

2. This song is by a Czechoslovakian anti-socialist activist. Simply-put; It's about how he got his religion stolen by the regime.

6. The most hated song... I'll just leave it there. It is self-explanatory.

Kryštof - Zůstaň tu se mnou (Stay here with me)

All day, and all night, I wrote to him that I won’t let him

He stayed silent and I perhaps yelled he’s forgetting the overtimes

That we’re a team, me and him, just us two, that I will not leave you

The invitation that he sent you from far away, no stamp, or envelope

I took it up, tore it up, like so many times

So promise me that you’re here, that you won’t give up

We will fight, we will scream

Play at best friends, draw on our own bodies

That we are two angels

We’ll be the laugh in rapid streams

Just stay here with me

All day, and all night, I wrote to him that I won’t forgive him

The nothing left over in my home

The silence that’s etched into the walls

And he said, he knows that better than I,

But what should one do?

We both have our jobs, and in this one, it’s not common to try to bribe

I don’t believe those lies and you start to laugh

So I know, that you’re here, that you won’t give up

We will fight, we will scream,

Play at best friends, draw on our own bodies

That we are two angels

We’ll be the laugh in rapid streams

Just stay here with me

[vaxxman]

You'll be at peace.

Archimedes is watching these two pop off and clean the capture point.

And here is the second panel without text.

The text is based on a Moravian (geographically that's in the Czech Republic now) Christmas song that was adapted into German in 1973. It has a very lovely tune.

The translation is based on the German lyrics because they are more vague than the original Moravian lyrics and therefore more fit as narration text. I made them singable in English, you are welcome.

Happy holidays.
