Čestná povinnost
Čestnou povinností lidské bytosti je milovat.
Připutuje láska a v jejím vleku se dostaví vzrušení staré vzpomínky na rozkoš dávné bolestné historky. Ale když jsme stateční láska rozetne řetězy strachu v našich duších.

The honorary duty of a human being is to love.
Love arrives and in its train come ecstasies old memories of pleasure ancient histories of pain. Yet if we are bold love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls.

Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
