I like how Karel Gott sings "Byt Stale Mlad" (Forever Young) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL-lO9ITYvY Is there anywhere on Internet where I could find the lyrics? I do know Czech and I understand a lot of the words, but not everything. I would also like to translate the Czech lyrics into English for my daughter, who likes this song but doesn't understand the words. If anyone can give me any advice, that would be great!!
I've made a VERY ROUGH translation, just for my own use! Just wondering if I've made any major mistakes, if anyone cares to look through it.... Time continues running its marathon Sometimes I feel older than it How many years have I already asked And I still know so little. And at other times, I feel like I've gotten younger Like that boy in front of the school fence Who at that time dreamed of his first kiss And of his first jeans. That boy desired and had a great objective He sang and lived fully and with great energy Possibly a bit of him still remained in me That sweet time will come back to me. Refrain: To be forever young, that's what I'd wish, to be forever young Resist once against all calendars Only youth, never old age To be forever young, I keep trying to be forever young Even in spite of these signs of time on my face To be forever young. As life went, I passed through lots of paths Now I can answer any test And I know that life is not only black and white It lives in many colors. But what of them I haven't yet tasted Everything I promised myself and then didn't accomplish What dreams I still have and so I go on Seeking the unfulfilled longing. (Refrain)
