Starej Brach
Vjetef Lyrics

jak šel čas na rande do parku s holkou kráčím, nesmělej s cigárem, hlas se mi chvěl.

Je to dávno, tak strašně dávno, jak čas rychle letí,
v knihách moudrých bylo nám psáno, že jsme jenom děti.
Je to dávno, tak strašně dávno, jak čas rychle letí,
v knihách moudrých bylo nám psáno, že jsme jenom děti.
S kyblíčkem na písku, teď hlídám svoje vnoučky, vlasy mi šediví, jsem starej brach,
dávno už neskáču s rozběhem přes kaluže, i když bych strašně rád, ale dostal bych srdeční krach.

The song "Starej Brach" by Vjetef is an introspective and nostalgic reflection on the passing of time and the fleeting nature of youth. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the passage of years and the accompanying changes in life circumstances and outlook. The first verse reminisces about the joyful innocence of childhood, spending time on the beach and playing with a toy bucket in the sand. The second verse shifts to the awkwardness and anxiety of adolescence, going on a date with a girl and feeling nervous and uncertain. The chorus serves as a refrain, repeating the message that time passes quickly and that we are all just children at heart.
The lyrics of "Starej Brach" capture a universal human experience, the feeling of nostalgia and wistfulness that comes with the passing of time. The song is a reminder that no matter how old we become, we are still the same people we were in our youth, with the same hopes, dreams and fears. It also speaks to the concept of mortality and the inevitability of aging and death. Ultimately, the song is a poignant and bittersweet reflection on the beauty and transience of life itself.

S kyblíčkem na písku, svou první bábovičku uplácal, rozdupal, radost jsem měl,
With a small bucket on the sand, I made my first sandcastle, crushed it, and had a lot of fun.
jak šel čas na rande do parku s holkou kráčím, nesmělej s cigárem, hlas se mi chvěl.
As time went by, I walked to the park with a girl for a date, feeling shy with a cigarette and a trembling voice.
Je to dávno, tak strašně dávno, jak čas rychle letí,
It's been a long time, so long ago, how time flies.
v knihách moudrých bylo nám psáno, že jsme jenom děti.
In wise books, it was written that we were just kids.
S kyblíčkem na písku, teď hlídám svoje vnoučky, vlasy mi šediví, jsem starej brach,
With a small bucket on the sand, now I watch over my grandchildren, my hair turning gray, I'm an old geezer.
dávno už neskáču s rozběhem přes kaluže, i když bych strašně rád, ale dostal bych srdeční krach.
I no longer jump with a running start over puddles, even though I would really like to, but I would have a heart attack.
