Not only for us, Petula. You can do it for the whole World, as I do, for example, here (yes, I'm the same cat).

Those were both lovely tracks, Petula! I especially liked the acoustic guitar in the second. I wish Neun Welten also included German lyrics, since I like German especially.

No rush on the translations...don't feel any pressure! If/when you have some spare time to translate, that would be nice...but only if doing so works well with your schedule.

This is a good idea, Zaqarbal, and a nice way for people who *can* translate to help those of us who don't know the language of a song to enjoy it! That cat is cute.

That's nice web page. Could you show to us this spanish song?

I know spanish music is great and people likes it but I don't know so much international fans of czech music.

I am not so good in english. It's not easy for me to translate czech lyrics because czech language has often double-meaning and I am not able to express it in english. But I will try to do my best.


Vegangelica, as I remember very well, Neun Welten have only about 3 songs with lyrics, all other are only instrumental.

It's by Nena Daconte. I put it here, in the Spanish-language music thread.

Anyway, there always will be someone interested in it. And a little consulted translation is better than nothing. The website I mentioned is full of amateur translators from all over the world. Just people who like music, like us, who make a voluntary (large or little) contribution by writing lyrics translations.

Don't worry, I 'm not good in English either, but I use on-line dictionaries. When I have doubts, I type English expressions and sentences in Google, to find out the most correct or common one. And anyway, you can ask for help. There is a forum for amateur lyrics-translators worldwide, and it has a Czech, Slovak and Slovene section.

I tried to translate my two favourite songs by czech folk/chanson singer Radůza.
I am not sure with a result so if you see some mistake, you can tell me and I will correct it
I hope my translation have some sence...

So here it is, with videos...





Radůza - Jednou to pomine (Someday everything will be away)

Jednou to pomine – Someday everything will be away
dobrý, zlý, jen my ne – good, bad things, but not we
jednou to přebolí – someday all pain will be away
ať je to cokoli – whatever it is

Jednou se vyhrabem - Someday we will alive
z každýho trápení – every suffering
mezi zemí, nebem – between earth and heaven
nic na věky není – nothing is forever

Nad ránem – In the morning
domů, do Dejvic – to home, to Dejvice (part of Prague)
nezapomeň – don't forget
na věky – for ages
sám nejsi nic – you are nothing alone

Jednou se zbavíme – Someday we will get rid of
všeho, co vlečeme – everything what we pull
nějak to přežijme – let’s survive
těžko a přece ne – it’s difficult but not so much

Jednou nás opustí - Someday
co jsme si nalhali – our own lies will be away
křídlama zašustí – it will lisp by wings
kéž je to za námi – if only it’s away

(This song is longer but still with the same parts of lyrics)




(Unfortunatelly video and audio aren't in the same time. I tried to upload another version but it was forbidden.)


Radůza - Půjdu, kam chci (I will go where I want to go)

Pokoj rozvoněl se vínem – A room smells of wine
minem se, neminem – we will pass or we will not pass
jako ty mě nemá nikdo rád – nobody loves me as much as you do

Bůh na zem hvězdu shodil – God threw down a star to earth
když po nebi chodil – when he was walking on heaven
teď si můžeš něco přát – you can wish some luck now

Papírový draky - Kites
slunce, hory, mraky – sun, mountains, clouds
umět chtít to, co mám – I need to want what I have
poznat, když se mýlím – I need to see when I am wrong
opustit v tu chvíli – I need to leave in this moment
pro neznámé to, co znám – my known things to find something unknown

Půjdu, kam chci a nikdy mě nedoženou – I will go where I want to go and they won't catch me up
musím jen přiznat, oplakat, zapomenout – I just have to admit, cry and forget
půjdu, kam chci a nikdy mě nedoženou - I will go where I want to go and they won't catch me up
musím jen zapomenout – I just have to forget

Ty mý ubrečený křivdy – My tearful injustice
nestaly se nikdy – didn’t happen
to jen sen se mi zdál – it was just only a dream
to jen moje chtění – only my volition
cestu kroutí, mění – turns and changes my way
to jen cíl je mnohem dál – just goal is farther away

To jen neznám sebe samu – I don’t know myself
z lenosti se klamu – I bluff myself because I am lazy
zbytečně mám někdy strach – sometimes I have uselessly a fear
často mě i zviklá – often I am uncertain
to na co jsem zvyklá – about things that I know very well
pomni, že jsi jenom prach – don't forget you are only dust

(Now lyrics are the same like before)
Půjdu, kam chci… - I will go where I want to go…
Pokoj rozvoněl se vínem… - A room smells of wine…
Půjdu, kam chci… - I will go where I want to go…

Thank you, Petula, for the translations!!!!!!!!

Radůza does have a lovely, warm, strong voice, doesn't she? And I like the flavor of her voice mixed with the accordion, which is simple but lively in its nasally sweet way.
