Poem of the moment
This is the first ever Czech translation of "Address to a Haggis" first performed at Burns Night Prague 22.1.05 & commissioned by Friends of Scotland.
Tvá oblá tvář je čarovná.
je tváří vůdce, chuti tvé
se maso, drůbky nerovná
a co jich jest!
Ty králem jsi všem pokrmům
na věky čest!
Tou horou zadků přeplněn
trám v lavici povzdychne jen.
Lze páskem haggis utáhnout
bude-li nutno.
Na čele se všem perlí pot
jak drahý klenot.
A sedlák zručně otře nůž
pak krájí bachor. Náhle už
zříš vnitřek, páru, jas a růž
do hloubky řez
A pak ten pohled na tu skruž
manu z nebes.
Pak cinkot lžic, jak dychtili
teď každý rychle popílí
žaludky plné za chvíli
jak buben břich.
Teď sedlák dechu popadá
mumlá svůj dík.
Radš žužláš ragú z Francie
jíš mišmaš jako pomeje
či frikasé ti dobré je?
Pak není divem,
že se šklebíc pohoršuješ
nad tímto jídlem.
Ti chudáci se hnusem cpou
jsou neschopní jak vlhký troud
a lýtka maj jak hůlčičky
pak nohu malou
Po poli projít, vodou plout
nejde jim skoro.
Však venkované haggis jí
pak mocným krokem kráčejí.
Cep v ruce když otáčejí
tak to jen hvízdá.
Ty svaly, ta houževnatost
jak skotský bodlák.
Ty živiteli lidí všech
kdo rozhoduješ o jídlech.
Nás Skoty prosím tě vynech
pachutí šlichty.
Spíš poslyš skotské duše dech
Po haggis dychtí.
Translated by Stanslav Kostiha, Alipas s.r.o.
Put it in your diary now!
We will be returning to our 'top end' format at a venue TBD in Prague centre. The programme will follow the traditional format (see the 2006 programme as example. The names will of course be different.
The event is not for profit. In the past the Friends of Scotland has financed the traditional deficit, this will not be feasible for the 2010 event. We have therefore proposed a price of 2000 CZK (€75 / £63) per person which will enable us to deliver a top quality evening guaranteed to be a memorable night out!
We welcome feedback from regulars and members on this policy.
