| ze sa nevyskacu, hej. fasanku, fasanku, s cervenymi fusy, ... carnival, carnival with red beard, Explanation: the part "ze sa nevyskacu, hej" is translated in your second question already. fasank = the carnival -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2007-02-05 22:10:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here you have the full lyrics of the song: Už sa fašank krátí už sa nenavrátí jemine, domine. Zhusta,chlapci, zhusta konec masopusta jemine, domine. Staré baby plačú, héj že sa nevyskáčú, héj. Fašanku, fašanku s červenými fúsy. Aj ten čert bachratý tancovat musí Zhusta,chlapci, zhusta konec masopusta Jemine, domine, masopust pomine Jemine, domine, masopust pryč. Zhusta,chlapci, zhusta konec masopusta Už sa fašank krátí už sa nenavrátí Už sa fašank krátí už sa nenavrátí jemine, domine. Zhusta,chlapsi, zhusta konec masopusta jemine, domine. Staré baby plačú, héj že sa nevyskáčú, héj. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2007-02-05 22:14:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I believe that you must be confused. So are we, I'd say. To sum it up, the whole song is about the carnival (especially about the fact that the end of the festival is closer and closer), which is a festival in the Czech Republic. It used to be famous in the past above all, I'd say. Anyway, the text here is sung by Hradistan, which I believe is a folk group, and the lyrics are in old Czech dialect. That is why we have problems putting everything together to create a meaningful picture for you. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2007-02-05 22:29:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Don't worry about the points. :-) I'm glad I could be helpful and have at least given you an idea of what the lyrics are about. And you're right, most of the words from the lyrics you would not find in a dictionary and they are not used very often nowadays. Actually, it's nice that someone from Kansas is interested in the lyrics of a Czech folk group. |
