Buráky
Když sever válèí s jihem
a zem jde do války
na polích místo bavlny
teï rostou buráky
ve stínu u silnice
vidím z jihu vojáky
jak flákej se tam s kvérem
a louskaj buráky
Hej hou, hej hou, naè chodit do
války
je doma lepší sedìt a louskat
buráky
Plukovník sedí v sedle
a volá Yankiové jdou
a jeho mužstvo v dáli leží
prej dál nemohou
celý se v sedle otoèí
a koukne do dálky
jak jeho slavná armáda
tam louská buráky
Hej hou, hej hou, naè chodit do
války
je doma lepší sedìt a louskat
buráky
Až tahle válka zkonèí
tak jestli budem žít
své milenky a ženy
zas pùjdem políbit
až se tì zeptaj hrdino
cos dìlal za války
já flákal se tam s kvérem
a louskal buráky
Hej hou, hej hou, naè chodit do
války
je doma lepší sedìt a louskat
buráky
Peanuts
When the North fights the South
and the land goes to war
in the fields instead of cotton
now peanuts grow
in the shade by the road
I see soldiers from the South
messing around with their guns
and cracking peanuts
Hey ho, hey ho, why go to
war
it's better to stay home and crack
peanuts
The colonel sits in the saddle
and shouts, "Yankees are coming!"
and his troops lie in the distance
saying they can't go on
he turns around in the saddle
and looks into the distance
as his famous army
cracks peanuts there
Hey ho, hey ho, why go to
war
it's better to stay home and crack
peanuts
When this war is over
if we’re still alive
we’ll kiss our sweethearts and wives
again
when they ask you, hero
what did you do in the war?
I messed around with my gun
and cracked peanuts
Hey ho, hey ho, why go to
war
it's better to stay home and crack
peanuts
