Translation of the song Milionář artist Jaromír Nohavica

U nás v domě řikají mi Ferda Šiška,

They call me Ferda Šiška at home

bo už od pohledu chytrý jsem jak liška

Because I'm smart just when you look at me

a když kery něco nevi

And when someone doesn't know something

nebo když je na co levy,

Or when someone can't do something

tak de za mnu a ja všecko najdu v knižkach.

They come to me and I find it in books

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

tak de za mnu a ja všecko najdu v knižkach

They come to me and I find it in books

Raz mi řikal jeden znamy dole v baře,

One day my friend told me in the bar

že s tú hlavu moh bych do Milionaře,

That I can go to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? with my head

čemu ne řikam si brachu

Why not, I told myself

šak ma Železny dost prachu,

Železný* has got a lot of money

no a Čechovi se podivam do tvaře.

And I can look to the face of Čech**

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

no a Čechovi se podivam do tvaře.

And I can look to the face of Čech

Dostal jsem se mezi partu uchazeču,

I got myself to the bunch of candidates

nikdo nema šajn, jak tam nervy teču.

No one knows how nervous I am

Všecko viděl jsem to hnědé,

I saw it all in brown

tak jsem zmačknul A B C D

So I pressed A B C D

no a už mě kurva a ke stolečku vleču.

And fuck, they are dragging me to the table

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

no a už mě kurva ke stolečku vleču.

And fuck, they are dragging me to the table

Čech to začal takym malym interviju,

Čech started it with a little interview

co pry robim, estli kuřim a co piju.

Where do I work, if I smoke and what I drink

Tak jsem řeknul co jsem řeknul,

So I told what I told

on se evidentně leknul

I evidently scared him

a už začly blikat světla ve studiu.

And the lights started to shine in the studio

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

a už začly blikat světla ve studiu.

And the lights started to shine in the studio

První otázka pry co je ukulele,

The first question is what is ukulele

tož to se přiznam měl jsem bobky u prdele,

I must confess, I was so scared I almost shit myself

tak jsem radši hlavu sklonil,

I bent my head

abych to všecko neskonil,

So I won't screw it

řikam, chtěl bych se obratit na přitele.

I said: I would like to call my friend

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

řikam, chtěl bych se obratit na přitele.

I said: I would like to call my friend

Lojza byl po hlasu silně nevyspaly,

Lojza's voice was so sleepy

asi zase celu šichtu prochlastali,

I guess they were drinking through the whole shift

bylo slyšet jak tam dýcha,

I could hear him breathing

ale třicet vteřin ticha,

But thirty seconds of silence

to je tak, když se vam kamarád navali.

That's when your friend got drunk

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

to je tak, když se vam kamarád navali.

That's when your friend got drunk

Moju staru zatim doma braly mory,

My wife was crazy at home

lidi ohryzavali televizory,

People were biting TVs

tady nešlo nad čim plesat,

There was nothing to be happy about

tož padesat na padesat,

So fifty fifty

ať vim esi su to ty bulharske hory.

So I will know if the right answer is that Bulgarian mountains

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

ať vim esi su to ty bulharske hory.

So I will know if the right answer is that Bulgarian mountains

A už jasně na tym komputeře sviti,

And it shines brightly on that computer

buď to je to za A vzacne lučni kviti,

It's A: rare meadow flower

nebo za B nastroj strunny,

Or B: stringed instrument

tu jde kurňa o koruny

There are Crowns*** in game, shit

a ja stejně jak na začatku sem v řiti.

And I'm screwed like in the beginning

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

a ja stejně jak na začatku sem v řiti.

And I'm screwed like in the beginning

Čech tam zatim maval tymi svymi čisly,

Čech was waving with his numbers

tak si řikam Franta, napi se a mysli,

So I told myself Franta, drink and think

jake tudy saky paky,

So whatever

obratiš se na divaky,

Turn to the audience

šak tu zatim za ty prachy enem kysli.

They were just sitting here and they paid a lot of money

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

šak tu zatim za ty prachy enem kysli.

They were just sitting here and they paid a lot of money

Sám jsem byl zvědavy co publikum zvoli,

I was curious what the audience will choose

bo aj v obecenstvu možu sedět voli,

Because in the audience there can sit idiots

devadesat procent za B,

Ninety percent for B

ale to mi přišlo slabe,

But it wasn't enough

bo co neni stopro to mě dycky smoli!

Because what is not a hundred percent is pissing me off

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

bo co neni stopro to mě dycky smoli!

Because what is not a hundred percent is pissing me off

Ještě, že sem chlap, co z boja neutika,

Luckily I'm not the man who runs from the fight

řikam pane Čechu pudem do rizika,

I told Mister Čech, let's risk

měl jsem v gaťach nadělano,

I was shitting myself

ale Čech zakřičel: ,,Ano

But Čech yelled: Yes

mate pravdu je to nastroj hudebnika.''

You are right, it's an instrument of a musician.

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

měl jsem pravdu, byl to nastroj hudebnika.

I was right, it was an instrument of a musician

Lidi tleskali, bo uspěch to byl plny,

People was clapping because it was a success

radosti zrobili dvě mexicke vlny

They made two Mexican waves from happiness

a ja co mam srdce skromne,

And I, who has a modest heart

jako všeci z Dolní Lomne,

Like everyone from Dolní Lomná****

sem byl spokojeny, bo sem ukol splnil.

Was happy, because I fulfilled my task

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

sem byl spokojeny, bo sem ukol splnil.

Was happy, because I fulfilled my task

Pane Čechu nerad přetahnul bych strunu,

Mister Čech, I wouldn't want to pull the string

končim hru a beru si tisícikorunu,

I'm ending the game and taking a thousad crowns

Čech se jenom chytnul stolu,

Čech just caught the table

oboči mu spadlo dolu,

His eyebrows fell down

no a už se modry ku podlaze sunul.

And all blue he was sliding to the floor

Ha-há-ha-ha-ha-há,

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

no a už se modry ku podlaze sunul.

And all blue he was sliding to the floor

Prvni třidu do Ostravy Intercity,

The first class to the Ostrava Intercity

v jidelňaku celú cestu valim kyty

I'm relaxing in the buffet car

a ta stovka co mi zbude,

And that hundred crowns left

to je přispěvek na chude,

Will be a donation for the poor ones

bo Ostrava je region razovity.

Because Ostrava is a peculiar region

A ta stovka co mi zbude,

And that hundred crowns left

to je přispěvek na chude,

Will be a donation for the poor ones

bo Ostrava je region razovity.

Because Ostrava is a peculiar region
