Translation of the song lyrics Labute zo Štrkovca - Elan

Labute zo Štrkovca (original)

Pri ceste výsmech jazera A na ňom kŕdeľ labutí.
Rodinky chodia obzerať
Vtákov čo nikto nenúti v tej
Klietke smútku zostať
Vymeniť za kus chleba,
V špinavej plytkej vode, ten skvelý pocit, ten pocit z neba,
A život na slobode.
Labute zo Štrkovca labute zo Štrkovca.
Treba sa spýtať seba na svedomie čisté, či za ten kúsok, za kúsok chleba
Nerobíme to isté.

(translation)

On the road mocking Lake A, a flock of swans on it.
Families go to look
Birds that no one forces in that
Cages of grief remain
Exchange for a piece of bread,
In the dirty shallow water, that great feeling, that feeling from heaven,
And life at large.
Swans from Štrkovec Swans from Štrkovec.
You need to ask yourself for a clear conscience, whether for that piece or piece of bread
We don't do the same.
