This is a shot from TV talk-show of Jiří Pavlica "Jak potkávat svět" /How to meet the world/ on Czech TV NOE.. We have been invited together with my grandfather there in December 2014 as a guests. This is the very ending of the show where we play the last song - this has been written down by my great-grandfather Martin Holý like 100 years ago.. He was a folksong collector (written down more than 1000 folk-songs)
It was a "live show" so all is kind of improvisation, we had just few minutes before the broadcast to prepare everything. But I find it very nice and I like to share it with you..
*****
The lyrics goes more/less like this:
Thanks the God that I was born,
That I have enjoyed well my young years,
I've had just only these ones,
they've left me, I am not gonna have any others..
*****
My friend, you should stop and realize
that you're nothing than mud and dust...
Once you come to the "final judge"
not any excuse will help you...
*****
If the heaven was charged by money
there would be no beggars, no poors...
But the heaven is free of charge...,
there..- Keizer and beggar equal means...
(Sorry, it is just my noob-translation, but hopefully the point of the text is understandable at least..)
