shoret nechali.


Shoret nechali
i tu hospodu,
my stary mazaci,
znamy ulejvaci
mame pit vodu.

Vodu nepijem,
my pijeme rum,
vodu pijou zaby,
vino stary baby,
my pijeme rum.

(Mike's rewrite)
Firemen, what have you done?

Firemen, what have you done?
what have you done?
you were drinking at the bar
and now you've gone too far
cuz the brewery's burned down

The fire got the tavern too
you burned down the tavern too
now we wounded layabouts
lazy drunken louts
have only water no more brew

since water is no fun
we must drink lotsa RUM
water is for wimps
wine for old hags
we must drink lotsa RUM

(Karel's translation)
What did you Firemans?

What did you firemans
what did you do
so you let burn up the beer beer factory 

You let it burn the tavern too
now we old veterans known lazy's
has to drink a water.

We dont drink water
we drink RUM
water is for frags, vine for old ladys
we drink RUM
