It's not every day one finds a song about Kafka, so I was quite happy when I found this. I've been listening to it over and over again.
I even went to translate the lyrics in Google Translate (since I don't know German, and can only recognise a few words), which means there are some odd sentences here and there, but at least I can understand it better now.
I've met Kafka
on the Charles Bridge in Prague.
No one else has recognized him
it was daylight.
He said Prague is unclean
a nest full of insects.
I think it was the cars
to him so frightened.
He wants to return to Berlin
which he liked better
but he says: Prague does not let go.
This little mother has claws.
I've met Kafka
still on the run
before the verdict of his father
which struck him with full force.
The desire for dirt
often drives him to the brothel
But the whores of today
are to him professionally.
He wants to return to Berlin
which he liked better
but he says: Prague does not let go.
This little mother has claws.
I've met Kafka
He is a lonely man
but he says: "I do not give up
I too shall die someday.
He has false teeth
from biting the desk
and more often he feels like
to throw in front of the train.
He wants to return to Berlin
which he liked better
but he says: Prague does not let go.
This little mother has claws.
