Mala dama
Kabát Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ta malá dáma z předměstí
Co umí lidem z dlaní číst
Tam kočky zrána mívaj hlad
Po noci plný neřestí
Je pohladí a dá jim jíst
Po tmě se toulá a ve dne spí
Došly mi slova, já stál tam jen
S touhle jedinou bych zemřel
S touhle bych zemřel v jedinej den
A jestli Vám to nestačí
Kdyby tam stála stovka žen
Vyzvu ji k tanci a to netančím
Tam za tratí svý doupě má
Mince po kašnách posbírá
A pak je skládá na kolej
Staví si chrám, plechovej most
Už po něm kráčí první host
Tak ať ho nohy nebolej
Prošla si peklem a kouzla zná
Přejetý mince počítá
A kdo ji spatří je zatracen
S touhle jedinou bych zemřel
S touhle bych zemřel v jedinej den
A jestli Vám to nestačí
Kdyby tam stála stovka žen
Vyzvu ji k tanci a to netančím
Budu si pamatovat na tu chvíli
Když hrála znělo to jak Paganini
A já už věděl, že jsem ztracenej
Zeptal se za kolik s pocitem viny
S touhle bych zemřel v jedinej den
A jestli Vám to nestačí
Kdyby tam stála stovka žen
Vyzvu ji k tanci a to netančím
S touhle bych zemřel v jedinej den
A jestli Vám to nestačí
Kdyby tam stála stovka žen
Vyzvu ji k tanci a to netančím
In Kabát's song "Mala dama," the singer describes a mysterious woman from the suburbs who has a talent for reading people's palms. She tears up the grass and starts to play music, and the cats come to her for food. Though she wanders in the night and sleeps during the day, her eyes reveal more than the singer's words ever could. The singer admits that he is out of words and would die for her. Even if there were a hundred women around her, he would still ask her to dance.
The woman is not just mysterious; she has gone through hell and knows magic. She collects coins from the fountains and builds a bridge. The first guest has already crossed it, and the singer wishes her well. But anyone who sees her is doomed, and the singer says he would die for her in a single day. The song ends with the singer remembering a moment when she played music like Paganini, and he knew he was lost. He asks her how much to pay and feels guilty for asking.
The song is a tribute to a woman who seems to be otherworldly, and the singer reveals his passion for her. He admires her magical abilities and even her ability to care for the cats. He wishes to dance with her despite his knowledge that observing her could be dangerous. Kabát's "Mala dama" is a haunting love song that paints a vivid picture of a mysterious and alluring woman.

Utrhla trávu a začla hrát
She plucked the grass and began to play
Ta malá dáma z předměstí
That little lady from the suburbs
Co umí lidem z dlaní číst
Who knows how to read people's palms
Tam kočky zrána mívaj hlad
There the cats are hungry in the morning
Po noci plný neřestí
After a night full of debauchery
Je pohladí a dá jim jíst
She pets them and gives them food
Po tmě se toulá a ve dne spí
She wanders in the dark and sleeps during the day
A její oči věděj víc než mý
And her eyes know more than mine
Došly mi slova, já stál tam jen
I ran out of words, I just stood there
S touhle jedinou bych zemřel
I would die with this one
S touhle bych zemřel v jedinej den
I would die with her in a single day
A jestli Vám to nestačí
And if that's not enough for you
Kdyby tam stála stovka žen
Even if a hundred women were there
Vyzvu ji k tanci a to netančim
I'll ask her to dance, even though I don't dance
Tam za tratí svý doupě má
She has her den beyond the tracks
Mince po kašnách posbírá
Collecting coins from fountains
A pak je skládá na kolej
And then she puts them on the train tracks
Staví si chrám, plechovej most
She builds a church, a tin bridge
Už po něm kráčí první host
The first guest is already walking on it
Tak ať ho nohy nebolej
So that the feet don't hurt
Prošla si peklem a kouzla zná
She went through hell and knows magic
Přejetý mince počítá
She counts the flattened coins
A kdo ji spatří je zatracen
And he who sees her is damned
Budu si pamatovat na tu chvíli
I'll remember that moment
Když hrála znělo to jak Paganini
When she played it sounded like Paganini
A já už věděl, že jsem ztracenej
And I knew I was lost
Zeptal se za kolik s pocitem viny
Asked for how much, with a feeling of guilt

She plucked grass and began to play, that little lady from suburbs.
She can read people from their hand palms.
There, where cats in the morning are hungry.
After a night full of vices, she caresses them and gives them food.
♫
She wanders in the dark, and sleeps during the day.
And her eyes know much more than mine.
I ran out of words, and I just stood near her.
I'd die with this one lady. I would die with her, one day.
♫
And if that's not enough for you guys.
If there were a hundred women standing there.
I would challenge her to dance, although I don't dance.
♫
There she has lair, her lair behind train tracks.
She collects coins from fountains, and then puts them on rail.
She is gradually building a temple, a tin bridge.
The first guest is already goes through it. So don't let hurt his feet.
♫
She's been through hell, and she knows that magic.
She count coins from rails. And whoever sees her, will be foerver damned.
