Přítel (Jaromír Nohavica) - English lyrics
I wonder if you remember that time
we were almost 20 and the Sun was in us,
sparrows ate out of our hands,
life went on without a guaranty
but also without embellishments.
Maybe stupid, but beautiful, that was our world.
intoxicating like 20 ciggarettes
and all our secret wishes
came true in a while
or right away.
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did you end up, my only friend?
you disappeared, I don't know where
alone alone alone
I am here alone.
I wonder if you remember that night?
there were 5 of them and you came to help me
yes, if it wasn't for you then
then out of my twelve ribs
there wouldn't be much left.
Today, I don't know if you'd come again.
the way I imagine it, your voice is already a bit higher pitched,
and hair - hair is shorter.
yeah, we were younger
so what? to hell with that.
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did you end up, my only friend?
you disappeared, I don't know where
alone alone alone
I'm fighting alone now.
I wonder if you remember that year
every one of our songs had at least 30 verses
and us two, as one
from old loudspeakers
over the sea as if it was a brook.
Your granddad said it would calm down.
he was right - there were a lot of small days after that
and then there was that big flood.
it took everything anyone gave it
and from you, it took even the last thing.
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did you end up, my only friend?
you disappeared, I don't know where
alone alone alone
I'm singing here alone now.
I wonder if you remember what you were like?
don't tell me that the life taught you
a person is not a button
that anyone just presses -
I learned that a long time ago.
I also know that you can't catch a heart with your hand.
How I changed, you changed too.
and still, I feel sorry
that the Sun doesn't shine over our songs anymore.
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
Where did you end up, my former friend?
you disappeared, I don't know where
alone alone alone
I'm breathing here alone now.
