Paroles et traduction Helena Vondráčková - Kam Zmizel Ten Starý Song

Kam Zmizel Ten Starý Song

Kam zmizel můj dobrý přítel?
Kam zmizel ten starý song?
Nehrál se hodně let, vy přece znáte svět,
A tak možná někdo víte,
Kam zmizel ten starý song.

Louis Armstrong jej kdysi hrál i jiní
Kam zmizel ten starý song?
Novou píseň hleď, tu zpívám teď
A ač ji ráda mám, stejně při ní
Slyším ten starý song

Pan Kainar text k němu psával
Kam zmizel ten starý song? jé
Ten text nebyl škvár, ne nezestárl a tak
Věděla bych ráda
Kam zmizel ten starý song?

To snad už je osud písní
Zmizet jak míček na ping-pong
Když jim došel dech, tak v archívech
V šuplíku se tísní
Tak končí snad každý song

Hmm...
Kam zmizel můj dobrý přítel?
Nevíte, kam zmizel ten starý song?
Máte vlastní svět
Je vám šestnáct let
A dnes už neslyšíte
Jak tenkrát zněl starý song

La la la lá, la la lá lá.
La la la lá, la la lá á.

Byl kdysi swing a jazz,
Ale dnes je dnes
Voda pryč co vzala, to vzala
S ní zmizel ten starý song...

Tak zpívej
Ať slunce dál pořád sálá
Ten pevný bod, zlatý gong, ou jé.
Až jednou budeš chtít
Slyšet svou dnešný píseň znít
řeknu: lalalala, voda vzala,
Tak jako ten starý song.

Where Has That Old Song Gone

Where has my good friend gone?
Where has that ol' song gone?
It hasn't been played for many years, you've seen the world,
So perhaps one of you knows
Where that old song has gone.

Louis Armstrong played it once and so did others
Where has that old song gone?
I sing a new song now, look
And though I love it, all the same
I hear the old song

Mr. Kainar used to write lyrics for it
Where has that old song gone? Oh
The lyrics weren't trash, no, they haven't aged, and so
I'd like to know
Where that song has gone.

Perhaps that's just the fate of songs
To disappear like a ping-pong ball
Once their breath is gone, then in archives
In drawers, they squeeze together
That's how every song ends

Hmm...
Where has my good friend gone?
Don't you know where that old song has gone?
You have your own world
You're sixteen
And today you don't hear
How the old song sounded back then

La la la la, la la la la.
La la la la, la la la la.

Once there was swing and jazz,
But today is today
The water took what it took
And with it, that old song disappeared...

So sing
Let the sun keep shining
That fixed point, golden gong, oh yeah.
One day when you want
To hear your present song play
I will say: lalalala, water took it,
Like the old song.
