Indiánská dýmka míru: Another song from my Žlutý pes CD . The lyrics are here, and the youtube video here. I understood most of the words... it's a sad song. I didn't get the words marked in green. Indiánská dýmka míru (Indian peace pipe) Sedí sám a něco ho tíží, černé vlasy mají kovový lesk ruka je pevná v očích klid pár vrásek a na duši stesk. Nemá domov, kde by ctil svou víru, nemá právo žádat to co by chtěl ztratil všechno co mělo svou cenu a všechno co měl. He sits alone and something worries(?) him, (his) black hair has a metallic shine the hand is fixed in the eyes calmness a couple of lines and on (his) soul nostalgia (I don't get it) He doesn't have a home, where to revere/honor his faith, he doesn't have a right to appeal what he would like he lost all that had its own worth and all that he had Nevnímá obzor v dáli, není Kryštof Kolumbus cítí jen proužek dýmu a zpívá si skalpovací blues žij jak umíš, měj nás rád, vyndej starou indiánskou dýmku míru žij jak umíš, měj nás rád, a pak zapomenem co bylo dřív He doesn't notice the horizon in ____, he's not Christopher Columbus he feels only a streak of smoke and sings to himself scalping(?) blues Live as you can, like us*, pull out the old Indian peace pipe Live as you can, like us, and then we forget what happened before Čte si dál svou stařičkou mapu, vidí řeku plnou vody a ryb vedle ní svou překrásnou ženu spousty chyb (what is the subject, verb and predicate of this line???) He continues to read his old map, he sees the river full of water and fish near it his beautiful woman ________ of mistakes Nevnímá obzor v dáli, není Kryštof Kolumbus cítí jen proužek dýmu a zpívá si skalpovací blues žij jak umíš, měj nás rád, vyndej starou indiánskou dýmku míru žij jak umíš, měj nás rád, potom možná zapomenem na sekyru(number? case?) Live as you can, like us, pull out the old Indian peace pipe Live as you can, like us, then maybe, then maybe we'll forget about the ax(?) žij jak umíš, měj nás rád, vyndej starou indiánskou dýmku míru žij jak umíš, měj nás rád, potom možná potom možná zapomenem Live as you can, like us, pull out the old Indian peace pipe Live as you can, like us, and then maybe we forget *like us (imperative) as in "please like us", "you must like us".
@wer: once again thanks for your excellent explanation. Yes, the colour-coding is very helpful! * Yes, in English you can read a map (I've heard that expression before). 8) ** squaw = woman (from the Algonkian). Unfortunately political correctness (PC) is making this word forbidden in the US. See here, and here is an example of PC gone mad.
