There is a wellspring with blood brimming

Je studánka a plná krve

and each has drunk from it before

a každý z ní už jednou pil

and someone killed a pendulinus

a někdo zabil moudivláčka

and someone did great harm therefore

a kdosi strašně ublížil

And then he felt regret and sorrow

A potom mu to bylo líto

and in his hands cupped water clear

a do dlaní tu vodu bral

and up against the light he scanned it

a prohlížel ji proti světlu

and fearing much held back no fear

a moc se bál a neubál

And holding he could not contain it

A držel ale neudržel

water through fingers my God gone

tu vodu v prstech bože můj

and broke stone in the empty quarry

a v prázdném lomu kámen lámal

and begged in vain: himself to stone

a marně prosil: kamenuj

And holding he could not contain it

A držel ale neudržel

and fearing much held back no fear

a bál se ale neubál

and the wellspring is with blood brimming

a studánka je plná krve

and each one has stood by too near

a každý u ní jednou stál
