lyrics

Chtěl bych vědět táto, jak se ti tam vede,
je nebe fakt modré, růžové či šedé?
Nenechej mě hádat, jak se ti tam daří,
zda tam točej Plzeň, a jak vám tam vaří?

Tady dole je to pořád, jak má to bejt,
na štěstí a rozum v hrsti nikdo nemá glejt.

Jestlipak si tam potkal, svoje starý lásky,
vypadaj jak kdysi, či je zdobí vrásky?
Nebo se snad stalo, že tvá duše vzplála,
k ňáký nový duši, která za to stála?

V srdci chovám moudra, která stačil si mi dát,
gentlemani mlčí a chlap má si za svým slovem stát.

Kámošíte pořád, vy - dejvicka parta,
hádáte se spolu, Dukla nebo Sparta?
Pokoušíte štěstí, u zelenýho stolu,
a máte opušťáky, za náma sem dolů?

Bylo by to príma kdyby si mi vědět dal,
nevím kdy dostanu pokyn: tak se hochu sbal.

Co mi není jasný, a hlavou se mi mele,
jak často tam můžeš potkat Stvořitele?
Zkoušíš na něj fóry, co měli tak rádi,
vnoučata a z mokrý čtvrti kamarádi?

Jestli nemáš čas tak teďna otázky peč,
hlavně že jsi v pohodě a jednou dáme řeč.

about

USB BAND Prague, Czechia

We're a folk-rock band who wasn't intended to be a band at first. It all started with a secret collection of poems that waited several years for a musical version. And although there were very sad moments at the very beginning of the whole story, as it often happens in life, it all turned out into pure joy and enjoyment from music and life. That's the greatest thing about it, indeed. ... more
