Текст и перевод песни Pražský výběr - Snaživec

Snaživec

Znal jsem jednoho takovýho chlápka
Co moudrosti moc nepobral
A studu ani kapka a lhal
A přesně jak se říká
Rozum mdlý vůle chabá
Ale touha po novotách veliká
Tak ten pán se o vše nové velmi interesoval
A nebyl to jen pán
Z pána jen klobouk měl
A nemyslel to snad ani zle - starosta
Však bohužel, na co šáh
Tam sto let tráva nerostla

Ten si to krásně zavařil
Nikdo ho neměl rád
Kdyby se tolik nesnažil, akorát

A čím víc se snažil pomáhat
Tím víc ten chudák škodil
A když mu to někdo naznačil
Tak hrách jen na zeď hodil
A ještě jednu vlastnost měl
Že byl splachovací
Jedněmi dveřmi ho vykážou
Už druhými se vrací

Ten si to krásně

Striver

I knew a guy like that
Who didn't gather much wisdom
And not a drop of education, and he lied
And exactly as the saying goes
Feeble mind, weak will
But a great thirst for novelties
So this gentleman was very interested in everything new
And he wasn't just a gentleman
Only had a gentleman's hat
And he probably didn't mean any harm - mayor
But unfortunately, whatever he touched
No grass would grow there for a hundred years

He messed it up nicely
Nobody liked him
If he hadn't tried so hard, he would have

And the more he tried to help
The more that poor devil harmed
And when someone hinted it to him
He threw peas at the wall
And he had one more characteristic
That he was flushable
They throw him out one door
He's already coming back through the other

He did it nicely
