Fair play
Milan Lasica feat. Jaroslav Filip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Medzi styri povrazy,
Povedali "daj si pozor,
Nech ti jednu nevrazi".
Ak ti vrazi tak mu vrat,
Netreba ho lutovat
Neber nanho ohlady
Mier mu rovno, rovno do brady.
Krizom cez ring za nim bezim,
On predomnou uteka.
Tazko mi je ked mam udriet
Nevinneho clovke.
Uz mu mierim na solar,
A vtom vidim jeho tvar.
Srdce sa mi rozbucha,
Ked mi tisko mrmle do ucha
Setri ma,
'Prosim ta setri ma.
Dnes vecer mam listky do kina,
Predstav si davaju Chaplina.
Pred kinom
Ma caka rodina,
Prisli az z Martina,
Tak prosim setri ma.
Au, to bola supa hrozna,
Kto vie ci ma zena spozna,
Ked ma zazru moji blizki,
Budem musiet predat listky
Do kina
Tak prosim, nebi ma.
Ked som zacul tieto slova
Medzi styrmi povrazmi
Prislo mi ho nahsle luto
Prestal som byt dorazny.
Udieral som do vzduchu
Nech neklesa na duchu
Skratka bral som ohlady
On ma zlozil hakom do brady.
Ohlady,
Zbytocne ohlady
Teraz mi davaju obklady.
Kym ma super tlkol do brady
Zo saka mi zmizli doklady
Necudo,
Ze som bez nalady.
The lyrics of "Fair play" by Milan Lasica feat. Jaroslav Filip are about a boxing match. The first verse talks about the setup of the fight; they've put the ropes up in the ring and warned the boxers to be careful not to hit one another too hard. If one of them does hit the other too hard, the other can hit back just as hard. The second verse continues with the story of the fight. The singer is chasing the other boxer around the ring, feeling bad because he doesn't want to hurt him. But he knows it's his job and he has to do it. He aims his punch for the other boxer's face but when he looks into his eyes, he can't do it because he sees his humanity.
The third verse is a plea from the other boxer for the singer not to hit too hard because he has tickets to the cinema that evening to see a Charlie Chaplin movie and his family from Martin has come to visit him. He begs the singer to spare him so he can enjoy the movie with his family. The final verse is the singer reflecting on the situation. He regrets holding back but concludes that it's better to show mercy and not hurt someone unnecessarily.

Do ringu ma postavili
I was put in the ring
Medzi styri povrazy,
Surrounded by four ropes,
Povedali "daj si pozor,
They said "be careful,
Nech ti jednu nevrazi".
Don't let them hit you."
Ak ti vrazi tak mu vrat,
If they hit you, hit them back,
Netreba ho lutovat
No need to feel sorry for them
Neber nanho ohlady
Don't back down,
Mier mu rovno, rovno do brady.
Aim straight for the chin.
Krizom cez ring za nim bezim,
I run across the ring behind him,
On predomnou uteka.
He runs away from me.
Tazko mi je ked mam udriet
It's hard for me to hit him,
Nevinneho clovke.
An innocent man.
Uz mu mierim na solar,
I'm already aiming for his solar plexus,
A vtom vidim jeho tvar.
And then I see his face.
Srdce sa mi rozbucha,
My heart starts racing,
Ked mi tisko mrmle do ucha
As he whispers in my ear
Setri ma,
Spare me,
'Prosim ta setri ma.
"Please, spare me."
Dnes vecer mam listky do kina,
Tonight I have tickets to the cinema,
Predstav si davaju Chaplina.
They're showing Chaplin.
Pred kinom
In front of the cinema
Ma caka rodina,
My family is waiting for me,
Prisli az z Martina,
They came all the way from Martin,
Tak prosim setri ma.
So please spare me.
Au, to bola supa hrozna,
Oh, what a terrible punch,
Kto vie ci ma zena spozna,
Who knows if my wife will recognize me,
Ked ma zazru moji blizki,
When my loved ones see me,
Budem musiet predat listky
I'll have to sell the tickets
Do kina
To the cinema
Tak prosim, nebi ma.
So please, don't hit me.
Ked som zacul tieto slova
When I heard those words,
Medzi styrmi povrazmi
Surrounded by the four ropes,
Prislo mi ho nahsle luto
I suddenly felt sorry for him
Prestal som byt dorazny.
I stopped being aggressive.
Udieral som do vzduchu
I punched the air,
Nech neklesa na duchu
To not break his spirit
Skratka bral som ohlady
I backed down
On ma zlozil hakom do brady.
He punched me in the chin.
Ohlady,
Backing down,
Zbytocne ohlady
Unnecessary backing down
Teraz mi davaju obklady.
Now I'm getting bandaged up.
Kym ma super tlkol do brady
While my opponent punched me in the chin,
Zo saka mi zmizli doklady
My documents disappeared from my jacket.
Necudo,
It's no wonder,
Ze som bez nalady.
That I'm in a bad mood.
