Ztrácíš (Marek Ztracený) - English lyrics

-I randomly remembered of this song from years ago that I used to be such a fan of! One of those which all the girls liked and all the guys hated haha. Even after 11 years it is still a banger! -

Marek Ztracený - You are getting lost (2008)

Sometimes all that people are left with is faith which is getting lost when you look at the World. And loved ones are disappearing in black holes and some hope that they will meet on their way back. And when others just watch those sad eyes that are waiting for someone..

Some things are not in human power, I proudly return your silence. Even when I'm alone, I am with you day and night and I silently hope in redemption. And when others just watch and you dream.. time goes on, I hope you know..

-chorus- You're getting lost from my memory, people have always been getting back together. I hope we will get to say those few sentences, that we will find our way back, I miss your eyes.

Sometimes we all live with just faith, that is when life is getting away from us. We're like trees that moved by the weight of life, we all suspect where are journeys lead. And when others just watch and you dream time goes on, I hope you know..

-chorus- You're getting lost from my memory, people have always been getting back together. I hope we will get to say those few sentences, that we will find our way back, I miss your eyes.

-bridge- I know that I am the one making mistakes and I vainly hope I know that I am the one making mistakes and I am rising up to the bottom, rising up to the bottom.

I am rising from the bottom up, up I swim through the water. I silently scream my feeling that you are everything and nothing to me.

I am rising from the bottom up, I am leaving your waters. I am destroying your dikes I hope in better life...

-chorus- You're getting lost from my memory, people have always been getting back together. I hope we will get to say those few sentences, that we will find our way back, I miss your eyes.

You're getting lost from my memory, people have always been getting back together. I hope we will get to say those few sentences, that we will find our way back, I miss your eyes.

I know that I am the one making mistakes and I vainly hope I know that I am the one making mistakes and I am rising up to the bottom,

Dva (Zrní) - English lyrics

Zrní - Dva

Two (2013)

we are talking in the evening, quietly we are both feeling numb leaves are holding on, not falling down yet the autumn is sad. whoever asks me if I believe in love, I will say no I only know that there’s us two, we are holding each other, and we will be holding each other.

we are looking at each other when the day is disappearing just like two seagulls at the sea just like two solitudes, strange messengers, left for each other. whoever asks me if I believe in God, I will say no I only know that there’s us two, we are holding each other, and we will be holding each other.

we are looking at each other when the warm night embraces us quietly like an animal to the fire, trees that stand next to each other for centuries.. but won't touch. whoever asks me if I believe in fate, I will say no I only know that there’s us two, we are holding each other, and we will be holding each other.

I only know that there’s us two, we are holding each other, and we will be holding each other.

Přítel (Jaromír Nohavica) - English lyrics

A Friend (1988)

I wonder if you remember that time we were almost 20 and the Sun was in us, sparrows ate out of our hands, life went on without a guaranty but also without embellishments.

Maybe stupid, but beautiful, that was our world. intoxicating like 20 ciggarettes and all our secret wishes came true in a while or right away.

Where did we go? Where did we go? Where did you end up, my only friend? you disappeared, I don't know where alone alone alone I am here alone.

I wonder if you remember that night? there were 5 of them and you came to help me yes, if it wasn't for you then then out of my twelve ribs there wouldn't be much left.

Today, I don't know if you'd come again. the way I imagine it, your voice is already a bit higher pitched, and hair - hair is shorter. yeah, we were younger so what? to hell with that.

Where did we go? Where did we go? Where did you end up, my only friend? you disappeared, I don't know where alone alone alone I'm fighting alone now.

I wonder if you remember that year every one of our songs had at least 30 verses and us two, as one from old loudspeakers over the sea as if it was a brook.

Your granddad said it would calm down. he was right - there were a lot of small days after that and then there was that big flood. it took everything anyone gave it and from you, it took even the last thing.

Where did we go? Where did we go? Where did you end up, my only friend? you disappeared, I don't know where alone alone alone I'm singing here alone now.

I wonder if you remember what you were like? don't tell me that the life taught you a person is not a button that anyone just presses - I learned that a long time ago.

I also know that you can't catch a heart with your hand. How I changed, you changed too. and still, I feel sorry that the Sun doesn't shine over our songs anymore.

Where did we go? Where did we go? Where did you end up, my former friend? you disappeared, I don't know where alone alone alone

I'm breathing here alone now.

Mám jizvu na rtu (Jaromír Nohavica) - English lyrics

A Scar On My Lip (2008) 1) I am too old to believe in revolution, and I can hardly hide my big head in my hood, and I don’t like when a pre-cooked rice is being cooked, and in my pocket I carry Ventinol for when I feel ill.

The way I see it - I can hardly go through an eye of a needle, and I run through the woods in a way so that the wolfs don't catch me. And in case any of you asks about an angel: I've got a scar on my lip from the time when he stood by me.

2) There's some ash on my blazer, soot on my tie, my old fingers don't know how to tie knots on a cord. And when my tears stream down my face sometimes, I swallow them right away, and I dance only as fast as the music goes.

My eyes have seen a lot and my hands have held a lot, and my heart was ashamed when salves of glory resonated, And in case any of you asks about an angel: I've got a scar on my lip from the time when he stood by me.

3) I talked to presidents, met murderers, I came naked into this world and I will leave naked. When I was 15 I saw russian tanks go by, and when I was 50 I went to a gypsy fortune teller.

And before St Paul sees me at the committee I want to bow to poets of the Czech land. And in case any of you asks about an angel: I've got a scar on my lip from the time when he stood by me.

4) In Paris I was reading the russian version of L'humanité, and when I read the Bible I only understand the simple sentences, In New York, my lip got an inflammation from a plastic spoon, but the best coffee is still at U Rybiček in Hypernova.

I throw a trump ace on the stack of cards, and I would like to see Baník beating Barcelona And in case any of you asks about an angel: I've got a scar on my lip from the time when he stood by me.

5) Some people have a really weird taste, but I stil love you the same, my love. When you add mushrooms to a pot with onion, when you raise your finger like a conductor's wand.

And even if I'm getting pulled there and you some other way sometimes, I forget the bad things for the good ones.

And in case any of you asks about an angel: I've got a scar on my lip from the time when he stood by me.

Každý ráno (Chinaski) - English lyrics

Every Morning (2015)

Every morning when I remember, I remember how much I loved you and how I didn’t marry you, every morning I will curse myself.

how cowardly it was when I didn’t pick up your diamond on my way. And since that time, from devil to devil I wonder on this road.

love, my only love.

Every morning when I remember, I remember how much I loved you and how I didn’t marry you every morning I will curse myself

I’m an idiot, I’m crazy Who’s gonna put my feet on the ground? who else, other than you, will do that for me?

In the morning when you remember please, send me your address to scare away my nightmares to make me not shiver with worry about you.

I promise that in my next life I won’t do the same mistake again. If you want it or not, I will find you and I will pick up your diamond.

love, my only love.

Every morning when I remember, I remember how much I loved you and how I didn’t marry you every morning I will curse myself.

I’m an idiot, I’m crazy Who’s gonna put my feet on the ground? who else, other than you, will do that for me? 

All of my mornings are empty and I can’t see the happy end of the story. The story of an old crazy man who exchanged pride for tenderness.

Love, my only love.

I promise that in my next life I won’t do the same mistake again. If you want it or not, I will find you and I will pick up your diamond.

I’m an idiot, I’m crazy Who’s gonna put my feet on the ground? who else, other than you, will do that for me?

Po válce (Barbora Poláková) - English lyrics

After the war (2018)

I exactly remember how it was after the war. To my suitcase, put my sceletons and find a new flat quickly. Better go across the river, avoid that girl. I mean the new one of yours, the new I mean the new one of yours, the new A super girl.

I exactly remember how it was after the war. Alone learn how to have a breakfast again, fill my bath tub about a half more, not have to change two bed sheets. I exactly remember this place after the war it wasn't mine, even then.

Time doesn't exist, doesn't exist. Everything is happening simultaneously, that's the only..  Time doesn't exist, doesn't exist. everything is happening simultaneously, that's the only.. explanation.

I exactly remember the silence after the war. The more we know eachother, the less we control eachother. I rather leave this to that girl. I mean the new one of yours, the new I mean the new one of yours, the new A super girl.

I exactly remember this place after the war it's like I left a part of my body somewhere. Just wipe your dust mark off of mine and then get you out of my blood system. I exactly remember this place after the war I found my way out on the first try.

Time doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. Everything is happening simultaneously, that's the only.. Time doesn't exist, it doesn't exist Everything is happening simultaneously, that's the only.. explanation.

Now, after five years I look at it differently. I don't talk about you anymore in a good or in a bad way.

Time changes, it changes us. Nothing is more than temporary, that’s the only.. Time changes, it changes us Nothing is more than temporary, that’s the only.. explanation.

Strach (Lucie Vondráčková) - English lyrics

The Fear (2000)

The rain, when it’s falling down from the skies and then wandering on the roofs it can get a bit embarrassed when it hears the things that I, day by day, tell to my windows:

that love is on its knees, there's no reason to worry. I'm no longer seeing you you no longer have a reason to lie day by day. So why do I suddently feel

Chorus: this fear that nothing compares to your ideas. I feel this fear that nothing compares to your lovely dreams,

that nothing compares to the stories you know. I feel this fear that nothing compares to liars.

With her, the one you didn't like, you're still with. It had to happen. You're with her, you only liked to play. And who knows which one of us you lied to more. And I, with my worries, feed the rain when it’s falling down from the skies, and then wandering on the roofs it can get a bit embarrassed when it hears the things that I, day by day, send to your windows..

Chorus: My fear - that nothing compares to your ideas. I feel this fear that nothing compares to your lovely dreams,

that nothing compares to the stories you know. I feel this fear that nothing compares to liars…
