Lyrics of Gaudeamus Igitur - Jaromír Nohavica

Gaudeamus Igitur (original)

V čele šly panny
celé bosé byly
a nesly Moranu
za nimi chlapci
kvítka pod košilí
klobouky na stranu
Ve stájích ržáli valaši
a havran křičel k úsvitu
za stodoličkou za naší
gaudeamus igitur
Když vítr zadul
Morana jak sosna
chřestila větvemi
úplně vzadu
Zima neúprosná
ležela při zemi
Ve stájích ržáli valaši
a havran křičel k úsvitu
za stodoličkou za naší
gaudeamus igitur Šly panny s chlapci
přímrazky je zábly
a hřála naděje
dva zvony bily
jeden pro konstábly
druhý pro zloděje
Ve stájích ržáli valaši
a havran křičel k úsvitu
za stodoličkou za naší
gaudeamus igitur
Ten průvod jara
jara ještě v plínkách
sunul se pomalu
od úst šla pára
led o ledy břinkal
a bylo Tří králů
Ve stájích ržáli valaši
a havran křičel k úsvitu
za stodoličkou za naší
gaudeamus igitur

(translation)

The virgins headed
they were all barefoot
and carried Moran
the boys behind them
flowers under the shirt
hats to the side
The Wallachians roared in the stables
and the raven cried out at dawn
behind the barn behind our
gaudeamus igitur
When the wind blew
Morana as a pine tree
rattled the branches
at the very back
Winter relentless
lying on the ground
The Wallachians roared in the stables
and the raven cried out at dawn
behind the barn behind our
gaudeamus igitur Virgin girls and boys went
Frostbite is a bang
and warmed hope
two bells were ringing
one for constables
the second for thieves
The Wallachians roared in the stables
and the raven cried out at dawn
behind the barn behind our
gaudeamus igitur
The parade of spring
spring still in its diapers
he moved slowly
steam came from his mouth
the ice squeaked
and there were three kings
The Wallachians roared in the stables
and the raven cried out at dawn
behind the barn behind our
gaudeamus igitur
