Lyrics of Tak to není, tati! - Helena Vondráčková, J. Khail, Josef Boháč

Tak to není, tati! (original)

Kolikrát jsem říkala ti,
že to není pravda tati,
přece bych ti nelhala.
Ten kluk co kolem nás chodí
a občas mě doprovodí,
toho jsem nelíbala.
Ten má, pane, jiné věci za lubem,
hrozně rád prý učil by se na buben.
Bubeník ten rytmus vede,
a to každý nedovede,
říká snad už ze zvyku.
Ze školy, když jdeme domů,
bubnuje do kůry stromů
a tak dělá muziku.
Ten má, pane, jiné věci za lubem,
hrozně rád prý učil by se na buben.
Bubeník ten rytmus vede,
a to každý nedovede,
říká snad už ze zvyku.
Ze školy, když jdeme domů,
bubnuje do kůry stromů
a tak dělá muziku.
Za buben by celou duši, věřte, dal,
a pro svou milou serenádu bubnoval.

(translation)

How many times have i told you
that's not true dad
I wouldn't lie to you.
The boy walking around us
and sometimes he accompanies me,
I didn't like that.
He has other things, sir,
he would love to learn the drum.
The drummer keeps the rhythm,
and not everyone can do that
he says, perhaps out of habit.
From school when we go home,
drums into the bark of trees
and so he makes music.
He has other things, sir,
he would love to learn the drum.
The drummer keeps the rhythm,
and not everyone can do that
he says, perhaps out of habit.
From school when we go home,
drums into the bark of trees
and so he makes music.
For a drum, the whole soul, believe me, would give,
and drummed for his kind serenade.
