Prague -- YouTube of Druha Trava playing for Obama

Here's a youtube video of the "Czechgrass" group Robert Krestan and Druha Trava playing in Prague on Sunday to 30,000 people gathered to hear Barack Obama at Prague Castle.



The song in this video is one of Robert's songs that I have translated into English, for a planned English-language CD:

BEFORE WE SAY GOODBYE

Now that we're saying good-bye
Now that we're saying good-bye
I'll give back your stories, and you'll return me mine
Now that we're saying good-bye

Before, dear, we both go to sleep
Before, dear, we both go to sleep
I'll give back your smile to you, it's yours for you to keep
Before, dear, we both go to sleep

You say you don't want nothing, you've got nothing, you don't know
Is it my head you're after, oh my darling Salome?
Or my soul you're searching, oh my dearest Lady M?
To take away…

Now that we're saying good-bye
Now that we're saying good-bye
I'll give back your stories, and you'll return me mine
Now that we're saying good-bye, dear

The truth she is a dancing girl, from the Moulin Rouge
And I don't want to die again, I just want to help you
There are many things I know, that never have an end,
Don't conclude….

Now that we're saying good-bye
Now that we're saying good-bye
Now that we're saying good-bye
Now that we're saying good-bye
