Lyrics and translation Richard Müller - Kde Bolo Tam Bolo

Kde Bolo Tam Bolo

Kde bolo tam bolo
Za siedmimi horami
Ani za siedmimi dolami
Ani sa tam piesok nelial
Ani voda nesypala
Tam kdesi na lúkach
Pod strechou jedného veterného paneláčika
Kde všetky telefónne čísla
Začínali osmičkou
Žili ona a on
On veliký, ona maličká
Presne ako v rozprávke
Žili v láske, z lásky, spolu, sami
A tak sa jedného dna rozhodli
Že sa poobhliadnu ešte po niekom ďalšom
To by už bolo predsalen o niečo veselšie
Aj karty by si mohli zahrať
Aj hlasovať by sa konečne dalo
A preto stále vyzerali z balkóna
Či predsa len nenatrafia na niekoho
Kto by im padol priamo do oka
A nelenili. Na hniezda ikarusov vylepili inzeráty
Hľadáme dakoho, kto bude s nami, aby sme neboli sami
A netrpezlivo čakali čo sa bude diať
Muž, ktorý sa napokon prihlásil nechal na seba dlho čakať
A keď zbadal velikého, okamžite sa pustil do strašného revu
Maličká mu síce dala najesť a napiť
Čím sa trochu upokojil, ale iba na chvíľu
Ten chlap akoby padol z neba
Vôbec nevedel čo sa patrí
Všetko mu bolo treba strčiť až pod nos
Ani karty nehral a pri hlasovaní vždy všetkých rázne prekričal
Po istom čase sa dokonca velikému zazdalo
Že chlapík páli za maličkou!
A ani maličká v tom nebola celkom nevinne
A vtedy sa prihlásil veľký čierny kocúr
Ale to už... spíš?

Where There Was, There Was

Where there was, there was
Beyond seven mountains
And not even seven valleys
Not even sand pouring
And not even water sprinkling
Somewhere there in the meadows
Under the roof of a windy apartment building
Where all the phone numbers
Started with an eight
There lived a she and a he
He was large, and she was small
Just like in a fairy tale
They lived in love, with love, together, alone
And so one day they decided
That they would look for someone else
That would be a little more fun
They could play cards
They could finally vote
And so they kept looking out from the balcony
If they could find someone
Who would catch their eye
And they didn't rest. They posted advertisements on the Ikarus buses
Looking for someone to be with us, so we won't be alone
And they waited impatiently for what would happen
The man who finally showed up kept them waiting a long time
And when he saw the big one, he immediately let out a terrible roar
The little one gave him food and drink
Which calmed him down a little, but only for a while
The guy seemed to have fallen from heaven
He didn't know what was proper
He had to be told everything
He didn't play cards and always talked over everyone when voting
After a while, the big one even thought
That the guy was making a move on the little one!
And the little one wasn't completely innocent in this
And then a big black tomcat showed up
But by then... are you asleep?
