Otec
Korben Dallas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chcel by som byť lepší otec
Skorej chodiť, viac ťa obliecť
Do suchých nohavíc.
Zaslúžia si naše mamy,
Lepších synov než sme sami.
Kto už nás, vychová.
Túžiš po viac pozornosti,
Po záujme o drobnosti.
Len zopár slov, z mojich úst.
Aby som vždy presne vedel,
Kto ským spáva, kto kde sedel
A čo s tým urobím.
Chcem tisíc očí, dvanásť rúk
čo ťažko drú a betónovú tvár.
Chcem na teba nezabudnúť
Sa neuhnúť, ja viem že sa to dá.
Chcem tisíc očí, dvanásť rúk
čo ťažko drú a betónovú tvár.
Chcem na teba nezabudnúť
A byť lepší a lepší, vždy dalo by sa lepšie.
Chcel by som to robiť správne,
Ale asi celkom márne
Čakám kým sa polepším.
Zatiaľ žmúrim, slepo strielam
Veci ničím, ludí zdieram,
Ani sám sa nešetrím.
Chcem tisíc očí, dvanásť rúk
čo ťažko drú a betónovú tvár.
Chcem na teba nezabudnúť
Sa neuhnúť, ja viem že sa to dá.
Chcem tisíc očí, dvanásť rúk
čo ťažko drú a betónovú tvár.
Chcem na teba nezabudnúť
A byť lepší a lepší, vždy dalo by sa lepšie.
Chcel by som byť lepší otec
Skorej chodiť, viac ťa obliecť
Do suchých nohavíc.
Zaslúžia si naše mamy,
Lepších synov než sme sami.




Kto už nás, vychová.
END

He's singing (and I apologize for a speed-translation, but hope it helps! Believe me, in Slovak it sounds amazing :) :

I'd like to be a better father,
come home earlier,
dress you more
into dry throusers.

Our mothers deserve
better sons than we are,
anyone else to raise us?

You wish for more attention,
for my interest into the litte things,
for only a few words
from my mouth...

For me to always know better,
who is sleeping next to who,
where's everyones place to sit
and what i will do with that.

I wanna have a thousand eyes,
have twelve hands,
which work, oh, so hard
and a face from beton.
I want to not forget about you,
to not slip away,
I know it is possible.
I wanna have a thousand eyes,
have twelve hands,
which work, oh, so hard
and a face from beton.
I want to not forget about you
and become better and better,
it always can be better.

I would like to do it right,
but I guess, almost in vain,
I'm waiting
until I improve.

Until then i nictate, blindly firing,
demolishing things, soaking people,
not stopping even from myself.

2x

som veľmi prekvapený, potešený, nadšený a hrdý že takáto muzika pochádza zo Slovenska, škoda že to nepočuť v naších rádiách.Úžasné....

@hugorepan157

Samozrejme, že púštajú. Len netreba počúvať komerčné primitívne rádiá (menovať ich nemusím).

@stivnjumen

kde desmod konci, korben zacina....

@veronikabednarikova3429

Úžasná hudba a tak hlboký nádherný hlas. Doslova cítiť ako hladí dušu.

@bulkpaq4713

pesnicka sa mi pred rokmi pacila.. dnes ma nuti ist domov z prace skor.. :)

@juditaurbanova6171

Milujem tieto barytonove hlasy, krásny text, počula som túto kapelu v Bytči boli úžasní už pred pár rokmi..

@PetrHadac

Bože, to je krása... za poslední rok jsem zjistil, že Slovensko má tolik skvělých muzikantů, pro mě zcela nových! A toto... ten hlas, pohoda, krásné texty, hloubka... ďakujem pekně!

@Powermax1975

Extra kvalita. Dôkaz, že aj slovenskí hudobníci vedia robiť kvalitnú hudbu s hĺbkou a obsahom.

@djwithbigpenysmusic7993

Lepší než naše české hovna :D

@chesterDAgangster

nie som síce ešte otcom, ale viem že je to náročná 24h práca. Človek nie vždy všetko stíha tak, ako by chcel a popri tom zabúda na to podstatné. Myslím, že vďaka tejto pesničke nikdy na to podstatné nezabudnem. Vďaka
