Paroles et traduction Michal Tucny - Fidlej celej den

Fidlej celej den

Múj táta fidlal housle a všechny písně znal
A nebyl v celým pohoří kdo by se mu vyrovnal
Na všechno říkal: "Nevadí, na co bejt nešťasten..."
A fidlal dál a fidlal jen a fidlal celej den.

Jednou udeřila vedra, tráva byla jako troud
A stáda žízní hynula a nemoh' si se hnout
Táta dal housle pod bradu a deštík zkropil zem
A fidlal dál a fidlal jen a fidlal celej den.

Jednou byla velká mela u nás v dolní hospodě
Všichni místní siláci porvali se v pohodě
Táta přejel smyčcem po strunách a boj byl odložen
A fidlal dál a fidlal jen a fidlal celej den.

A jestli nemáš kliku, špatná karta padá ti
Tak dej si klidně nalejt von to někdo zaplatí
Jen mávni rukou: "Nevadí..." a přisuň se sem
A fidlej dál a fidlej jen a fidlej celej den.

Fiddling All Day

My father fiddled the violin and knew all the songs
And there was no one in the whole mountain range who could match him
He used to say about everything: "It doesn't matter, why be unhappy..."
And he kept on fiddling, just fiddling all day long.

One day the heat struck, the grass was like tinder
And the herds were dying of thirst and couldn't move
Father put his violin under his chin and rain watered the earth
And he kept on fiddling, just fiddling all day long.

One day there was a big brawl in our local pub.
All the local tough guys were having a comfortable fight.
Father ran his bow over the strings and the fight was postponed
And he kept on fiddling, just fiddling all day long.

And if you're unlucky, you get dealt a bad card,
So just let yourself a drink, someone will pay for it.
Just wave your hand: "It doesn't matter..." and come over here
And keep on fiddling, just fiddling all day long.
