Chcela by som venovať túto pieseň Carmelovi,
00:21
who was put to sleep a couple of days ago, because he got too old.

ktorý bol usmrtený pred niekoľkými dňami, pretože bol príliš starý.
00:26
But apparently he was a very nice dog
2

2000
Ale očividne to bol veľmi milý pes
00:28
and he always let the cat sleep in the dog bed.

a vždy nechal spať mačku v psej posteli.
00:35
♫ (Dog panting noise) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

♫ (Zvuk ťažko dýchajúceho psa) heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫
00:39
♫ I'm just a'walking my dog, singing my song, strolling along. ♫
5
21000
6000
♫ Venčím svojho psíka spievajúc si moju pieseň, prechádzajúc sa ♫
00:45
♫ Yeah, it's just me and my dog, catching some sun. We can't go wrong. ♫
6
27000
8000
♫ Áno, som to len ja a môj pes chytajúc slnko, nemôžeme sa mýliť. ♫
00:53
♫ My life was lonely and blue. ♫
7
35000
2000
♫ Môj život bol osamelý a depresívny. ♫
00:56
♫ Yeah, I was sad as a sailor, ♫
8
38000
3000
♫ Áno, bola som smutným námorníkom, ♫
01:00
♫ I was an angry 'un too. ♫
9
42000
3000
♫ bola som tiež nahnevaná. ♫
01:03
♫ Then there was you -- appeared when I was entangled with youth and fear, ♫
10
45000
7000
♫ Potom si prišiel ty - objavil si sa, keď som bola zamotaná v mladosti a strachu ♫
01:10
♫ and nerves jingle jangled, vermouth and beer were getting me mangled up. ♫
11
52000
6000
♫ a nervy mi štrngali, vermut a pivo ma ničili. ♫
01:16
♫ But then I looked in your eyes ♫
12
58000
2000
♫ Ale potom som sa pozrela do tvojich očí ♫
01:19
♫ and I was no more a failure. ♫
13
61000
3000
♫ a nebola som už viac sklamaním. ♫
01:22
♫ You looked so wacky and wise. ♫
14
64000
3000
♫ Ty si vyzeral taký pojašený a múdry. ♫
01:26
♫ And I said, "Lord, I'm happy, 'cause I'm just a'walking my dog, ♫
15
68000
5000
♫ A ja som povedala, "Pane, som šťastná, pretože iba venčím svojho psa, ♫
01:31
♫ catching some sun. We can't go wrong." ♫
16
73000
4000
♫ chytajúc slnko nemôžeme sa pomýliť." ♫
01:35
♫ Yeah, it's just me and my dog, singing our song, strolling along. ♫
17
77000
6000
♫ Áno, som to len ja a môj pes spievajúc si našu pieseň, prechádzajúc sa. ♫
01:41
♫ 'Cause I don't care about your hating and your doubt, ♫
18
83000
3000
♫ Pretože mne nezáleží na tvojej nenávisti a tvojich pochybnostiach ♫
01:44
♫ and I don't care what the politicians spout. ♫
19
86000
4000
♫ a nestarám sa ani o to, čo politici chŕlia. ♫
01:48
♫ If you need a companion, why, just go out to the pound, ♫
20
90000
3000
♫ Ak chceš spoločnosť, len choď von do útulku ♫
01:51
♫ and find yourself a hound, and make that doggie proud, ♫
21
93000
3000
♫ a nájdeš si psa a spravíš toho psíka hrdým, ♫
01:54
♫ 'cause that's what it's all about. ♫
22
96000
3000
♫ pretože o tomto to celé je. ♫
02:01
♫ (Dog panting noise) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫
23
103000
3000
♫ (Zvuk ťažko dýchajúceho psa) heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫
02:04
♫ My life was tragic and sad. ♫
24
106000
4000
♫ Môj život bol tragický a smutný, ♫
02:08
♫ I was the archetypal loser. ♫
25
110000
3000
♫ bola som typický stroskotanec, ♫
02:11
♫ I was a pageant gone bad. ♫
26
113000
4000
♫ bola som nepodarenou maškarádou. ♫
02:15
♫ And then there was you -- on time, and wagging your tail ♫
27
117000
5000
♫ A potom si tu bol ty - načas a vrtel si chvostom ♫
02:20
♫ in the cutest mime that you was in jail. ♫
28
122000
3000
♫ v najzlatšej pantomíme, že si bol vo väzení. ♫
02:23
♫ I said, "Woof, be mine!" and you gave a wail and then ♫
29
125000
5000
♫ Ja som povedala: "Haf, buď mojím!" a zabedákala som ♫
02:29
♫ I was no longer alone. ♫
30
131000
2000
♫ a nebola som viac sama. ♫
02:31
♫ And I was no more a boozer. ♫
31
133000
2000
♫ A už som viac nebola opilec. ♫
02:34
♫ We'll make the happiest home. ♫
32
136000
2000
♫ My spravíme najšťastnejší domov. ♫

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Nellie McKay - Singer/songwriterNellie McKay sings, croons, raps, grooves and -- barks? -- to glowing critical acclaim.
Why you should listen
Playful, quirky, hilarious, endearing: not attributes of your typical political agitator. But singer-songwriter-producer-activist Nellie McKay merits the description. Her music is whimsical, colorful, catchy and as engaging as it is restless. Toying with antique genres and yet undeniably contemporary, it flirts with multiple styles of delivery while maintaining a sharp social conscience.
For these and other eccentricities, McKay has gained a devoted fan following. On stage and off, she's an outspoken advocate of animal rights, a friend and ally to any arch political quip and -- lucky for us -- artistically uncompromising. After cutting two major-label records, her own indie label, Hungry Mouse, produced her latest, Obligatory Villagers.
