Текст песни Songs My Mother Taught Me

Kdyz mne stara matka zpivat, zpivat ucivala.
Kdyz mne stara matka zpivat, zpivat ucivala.

Songs my mother taught me
In the days long vanished;
Seldom from her eyelids
Were the teardrops banished.

Now I teach my children
Each melodious measure.
Oft the tears are flowing,
Oft they flow from my memory's treasure.

Kdyz mne stara matka zpivat, zpivat ucivala, (Kdyz mne stara matka, zpivat, zpivat ucivala,)
Podivno, ze casto, casto slzivala. (Podivno, ze casto, casto slzivala.)
A ted take placem snede lice mucim, (A ted take placem, snede lice mucim,)
Kdyz ciganske deti hrat a zpivat, hrat a zpivat ucim! (Kdyz ciganske deti hrat a zpivat ucim!)

Kdyz mne stara matka zpivat, zpivat ucivala,
Podivno, ze casto, casto slzivala.
A ted take placem snede lice mucim,
Kdyz ciganske deti hrat a zpivat, hrat a zpivat ucim!

Songs my mother taught me
In the days long vanished;
Seldom from her eyelids
Were the teardrops banished.

Now I teach my children
Each melodious measure.
Oft the tears are flowing,
Oft they flow from my memory's treasure!

Kdyz mne stara matka zpivat, zpivat ucivala,
Podivno, ze casto slzivala.
A ted take pla...placem snede ......,
Deti hrat a zpivat, ucivala.
