- Lyrics -
It 's half a day to get there, yeah, we' re walking
A bartender's wine and a piece of meat to everyone
So into full jugs, that 's not the case
and on what shall we drink? on the Life of Charles , Hey
The joy of the father of the homeland does not only include music
Nevertheless, I drag everything to play in Karlštejn
Let our feet serve us, our heads do not hurt
When I sing there
on the Life of Charles
hey ho hey me
hey ho hey me
I'm a wandering juggler, a vagrant who's a bic
everyone, but I screams seriously from their lungs
That's when God's judgments no longer hurts
let's feast and drink on the Life of Charles
hey ho hey me
hey ho hey me
To the horse market it take it, over the new bridge
You will find us drinking wine there, singing for fun
Although at first it may seem bitter
let’s praise him and drink on the Life of Charles
hey ho hey me
hey ho hey me
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Koňmo je to půlden, jó, my pěšky jdem
Šenkýřko vino a kus maso všem
Tak do plnejch džbánů, at’ to tak neboli
a na co si dáme? na Vita Caroli, Hej
K slastem otec vlasti nepatři hudba jen
Přesto všechno táhnem hrát na Karlštejn
At’ nám nohy slouží, hlava nebolí
Až tam budem zpívat
o Vita Caroli
hej ho hej ja
hej ho hej ja
jsem potulnej kejklíř, vagant, kdo je bic
každaj, ale já řvu vážně z plnejch plic
Že když už ž božích soudů hlava nebolí
hodujme a pijme na Vita Caroli
hej ho hej ja
hej ho hej ja
Přes koňskej trh vem to, na ten novej most
Najdeš nás tam víno pít, zpívat pro radost
Ač zprvu trpké zdát se může jakkoli
chvalme ho a pijme na Vita Caroli
hej ho hej ja
hej ho hej ja

Čas udělat takovej song o panu prezidentovi.

[@Kledos]

Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, had a long and successful reign. The Empire he ruled from Prague expanded, and his subjects lived in peace and prosperity. When he died, the whole Empire mourned. More than 7,000 people accompanied him on his last procession. The heir to the throne of the flourishing Empire was Charles' son, Wenceslas IV, whose father had prepared him for this moment all his life. But Wenceslas did not take after his father. He neglected affairs of state for more frivolous pursuits. He even failed to turn up for his own coronation as Emperor, which did little to endear him to the Pope. Wenceslas "the Idle" did not impress the Imperial nobility either. His difficulties mounted until the nobles, exasperated by the inaction of their ruler, turned for help to his half-brother, King Sigismund of Hungary. Sigismund decided on a radical solution. He kidnapped the King to force him to abdicate, then took advantage of the ensuing disorder to gain greater power for himself. He invaded Bohemia with a massive army and began pillaging the territories of the King's allies.

In spanish we use exactly the same word for wine, vino

[@holextv5595]

[@varancz82]

well yeah but we have it with special i víno

[@czerwonaswinia7153]

@@holextv5595Pretty sure that grapevine was everywhere where church and holy orders were. I don't know how it looked like in Bohemia but in Poland there are sources mentioning order of st. Johan wich got village Zagost from a prince and made grape plantation there in XII c. I think we can be sure that after christanization of Dux and implementing church organisation grapevine was always coming along.

I thought that the Vita Karoli was about Charlemagne, not some Bohemian king

[@toncek9981]

no, it's about 14th century Bohemian king and Holy Roman emperor Charles IV... and, yeah it's actually autobiography.

[@ReactionaryPapist]

Hes not some bohemian king, he is one of the greatest Holy Roman Emperors!
