Slovak Entry

 

 

Team  -  Prievan v peňaženke

(Empty Wallet or literal translation"draught in the wallet")

 

Time for some retro-Rockl...

 

One of the most famous pre and post communism fall era, The Bratislava band Team led by its unique and charismatic singer Pavol Habera who was extremely popular during the most important period of our and czech history around the communism end in 1989. His band survived the hard censure of the regime and produced many, many and Many hits in this period.

 

Nowadays much older the lads are still playing however with slight softening of the original music style. Habera was also quite famous as Simon Cowell-style judge in the czechoslovak version of American Idol in the previous decade.

 

The song I picked was and is still a sort of a unofficial anthem of young people, I guess the majority of us knew this feeling about having constantly an empty wallet

 

but, without further ado, here is the 1989 song Prievan v peňaženke from Team, hope some of you will enjoy it

 

 

Lyrics

 

Spoiler

Treba na to asi mať zvláštny talent
Mať vreckové suchoty neustále
Škoda ďalších slov
Som z tých dobrákov
Čo sú pravidelne bez prachov

Bývam priateľ dôverný s každou bankou
Ale v peňaženke mám stále manko
Iba desiatnik, roky neplatný

Smutný koniec pások výplatných

Prievan v peňaženke stále mám
Strácam kilá bankoviek
Prievan v peňaženke stále mám
Z diaľky počujem ich smiech...

Trojuholník bermudský mám v nej asi
V tomto boji s prírodou nezvíťazím
Mávam nízky tlak, a rovnaký plat
S prázdnym vreckom ako bigbiťák

Prievan v peňaženke stále mám
Strácam kilá bankoviek
Prievan v peňaženke stále mám

Z diaľky počujem ich smiech...

Ja som odborník na všetky meny
Mne sa v peňaženke nič nezelení
Môžeš, kámo, snáď dvacku požičať?
Vrátim ti ju nabudúce rád! (Možno!)

Prievan v peňaženke stále mám
Strácam kilá bankoviek
Prievan v peňaženke stále mám

Z diaľky počujem ich smiech...

 

 

Lyrics

 

I guess it takes a special talent

To be always running dry with money

No use wasting any more words

I'm one of those soft-hearted folks

Who are always penniless

 

I'm a faithful friend to every bank

But there's still no cash in my wallet

Just a ten-penny coin,

long time non-valid

The sad end of payslip days

 

My wallet is always empty
I lose bank notes by the pound
My wallet is always empty
I can hear their distant laughter…

 

There might be a Bermuda triangle in my wallet
I can’t win this fight against nature
My blood pressure is low and my salary follows suit
My pockets are empty like those of a big-beat fan

 

My wallet is always empty
I lose bank notes by the pound
My wallet is always empty
I can hear their distant laughter…

 

I'm the ultimate currency expert

No success in my wallet

Hey, bro ! could you lend me a twenty ?

I'll be happy to return it later!   (Maybe!)

 

My wallet is always empty
I lose bank notes by the pound
My wallet is always empty
I can hear their distant laughter…

I guess it takes a special talent

To be always running dry with money1

No use wasting any more words

I’m one of those soft-hearted folks

Who are always penniless

I’m a faithful friend to every bank

But there’s still litt
