Lyrics

Kam zmizel můj dobrý přítel?
Kam zmizel ten starý song?
Nehrál se hodně let, vy přece znáte svět
A tak možná někdo víte
Kam zmizel ten starý song
Louis Armstrong jej kdysi hrál i jiní
Kam zmizel ten starý song?
Novou píseň hleď, tu zpívám teď
A ač ji ráda mám, stejně při ní
Slyším ten starý song
Pan Kainar text k němu psával
Kam zmizel ten starý song? jé
Ten text nebyl škvár, ne nezestárl a tak
Věděla bych ráda
Kam zmizel ten starý song?
To snad už je osud písní
Zmizet jak míček na ping-pong
Když jim došel dech, tak v archívech
V šuplíku se tísní
Tak končí snad každý song
Hmm…
Kam zmizel můj dobrý přítel?
Nevíte, kam zmizel ten starý song?
Máte vlastní svět
Je vám šestnáct let
A dnes už neslyšíte
Jak tenkrát zněl starý song
La la la lá, la la lá lá
La la la lá, la la lá á
Byl kdysi swing a jazz
Ale dnes je dnes
Voda pryč co vzala, to vzala
S ní zmizel ten starý song…
Tak zpívej
Ať slunce dál pořád sálá
Ten pevný bod, zlatý gong, ou jé
Až jednou budeš chtít
Slyšet svou dnešný píseň znít
Řeknu: lalalala, voda vzala
Tak jako ten starý song

Lyrics translation

Where did my good friend go?
Where did the old song go?
He hasn't played for many years, you know the world.
And so maybe someone you know
Where did the old song go?
Louis Armstrong was once played by others
Where did the old song go?
New song Look, I'm singing Here Now
And as much as I love her, I still love her
I hear that old song
Mr. Kainar wrote the text to him
Where did the old song go? be
The lyrics weren't a mess, they didn't get old and stuff.
I'd like to know
Where did the old song go?
I hope that's the fate of the songs
Disappear like a ping-pong ball
When they ran out of breath, in the archives
In the drawer is cramped
That's how every song ends
Hmm…
Where did my good friend go?
Do you know where the old song went?
You have your own world
You're sixteen years old
And today you can no longer hear
How the old song sounded then
La la La lá, la la lá lá
La la La lá, la la lá á
He was once a swing and jazz
But today is today
Water away what she took, she took it
With her disappeared the old song…
So sing
Let the sun continue to burn
The solid point, the golden gong, Oh yeah
When you want to
Hear your song today sound
I will say: lalalala, water took
Just like the old song
