Paroles et traduction Jaromír Nohavica - Jdou po mě, jdou

Jdou po mě, jdou

T
Býval jsem chudý jak kostelní myš,
Na půdě půdy jsem míval svou skrýš,
Pak jednou v létě řek jsem si bať,
Svět fackuje tě, a tak mu to vrať.
Pak jednou v létě řek jsem si bať,
Svět fackuje tě, a tak mu to vrať
Když mi dát nechceš, já vezmu si sám,
Zámek jde lehce a adresu znám.
Zlato jak zlato, dolar či frank,
Tak jsem šel na to do National Bank.
Zlato jak zlato, dolar či frank,
Tak jsem šel na to do National Bank.
Jdou po mně, jdou, jdou, jdou,
Na každým rohu mají fotku mou.
Kdyby mě chytli, jó, byl by ring,
Tma jako v pytli je v celách Sing-Sing,
Jé, jé...
Ve státě Iowa byl od poldů klid,
Chudinká vdova mi nabídla byt.
Byla to kráska, já měl peníze,
Tak začla láska jak z televize.
Byla to kráska, já měl peníze,
Tak začla láska jak z televize.
Však půl roku nato řekla mi dost,
Tobě došlo zlato, mně trpělivost.
Sbal svých pár švestek a běž si, kam chceš!
Tak jsem na cestě a chudý jak veš.
Sbal svých pár švestek a běž si, kam chceš!
Tak jsem na cestě a chudý jak veš.
Jdou po mně, jdou, jdou, jdou,
Na každým rohu mají fotku mou.
Kdyby mě chytli, jó, byl by ring,
Tma jako v pytli je v celách Sing-Sing,
Jé, jé...
Teď ve státě Utah žiju spokojen,
Pípu jsem utáh a straním se žen.
Kladou mi pasti a do pastí špek,
Já na ně mastím, jen ať mají vztek.
Kladou mi pasti a do pastí špek,
Já na ně mastím, jen ať mají vztek.
Jdou po mně, jdou, jdou, jdou,
Na nočních stolcích mají fotku mou.
Kdyby mě klofli, jó, byl by ring,
žít pod pantoflí je hůř než v Sing-Sing,
Jé, jé

They're after me, they're after me

I used to be poor as a church mouse,In the attic I had my hiding place,Then one summer I said to myself, enough,The world slaps you in the face, so give it back.Then one summer I said to myself, enough,The world slaps you in the face, so give it back.If you don't want to give to me, I'll take it myself,The lock is easy and I know the address.Gold is gold, dollar or franc,So I went for it at the National Bank.Gold is gold, dollar or franc,So I went for it at the National Bank.They're after me, they're after me, they're after me,They have my picture on every corner.If they catch me, oh, there will be a fight,It's dark as a sack in the cells of Sing-Sing,Oh, oh...In the state of Iowa there was peace from the cops,A poor widow offered me a place to stay.She was a beauty, I had money,So a love like on TV began.She was a beauty, I had money,So a love like on TV began.But half a year later she said to me enough,Your gold is gone, my patience is gone.Pack your few plums and go wherever you want!So I'm on my way, poor as a louse.Pack your few plums and go wherever you want!So I'm on my way, poor as a louse.They're after me, they're after me, they're after me,They have my picture on every corner.If they catch me, oh, there will be a fight,It's dark as a sack in the cells of Sing-Sing,Oh, oh...Now in the state of Utah I live contentedly,I've tightened my belt and I keep away from women.They lay traps for me and bait the traps,I grease them, just to make them angry.They lay traps for me and bait the traps,I grease them, just to make them angry.They're after me, they're after me, they're after me,They have my picture on their nightstands.If they nab me, oh, there will be a fight,Living under the thumb is worse than Sing-Sing,Oh, oh

If you don't want to give to me, I'll take it myself,
The lock is easy and I know the address.

A poor widow offered me a place to stay.
She was a beauty, I had money,
So a love like on TV began.

Now in the state of Utah I live contentedly,
I've tightened my belt and I keep away from women.
They lay traps for me and bait the traps,
I grease them, just to make them angry.
