Shane Jiří Brabec / Pavel Vrba, English lyrics by Michal Bukovič. Sung by Ladislav Vodička. Country Beat Jiřího Brabce. Recorded in Mozarteum studios 7/ 7/1970. (P) Supraphon 1970
Tam někde v dálce oheň kvet a tak jsem k němu jel Jen tak s chlapama posedět jsem zrovna tenkrát chtěl Ten stařík s tváří vrásčitou jak dubovej kmen vyprávěl pověst letitou o střelci jménem Shane Byl to Shane Byl to Shane	I thought I’d better lay me down before another mile So I rode my pony to that town to stop for a little while the crowd was gathered at the bar listening to the old man that told about [a] guy who came from [a]far and he [here?] was known as Shane That was Shane That was Shane
Je v kraji klid však bejval čas kdy Reed tu s bandou vlád všem při tom jménu běhal mráz a nikdo nemoh spát Reed zabíjel a všecko krad všecko včetně žen Reed strašlivě se začal smát když slyšel jméno Shane Byl to Shane Byl to Shane	It’s quiet now but it wasn’t [the] same when Reed was ruling here And everyone thought of his name with fright and scare and fear He used to rape and he used to kill everywhere he came The only time we saw him thrilled was when he heard of Shane That was Shane That was Shane
Ten Shane to je zlý svědomí lumpů jako Reed i když je člověk jako my líp se umí bít A pak nám pastor vyjevil že měl dnes živej sen A den nato se vobjevil střelec jménem Shane Byl to Shane Byl to Shane	Well Shane came on one frightful night To punish men like Reed Like one of us but he could fight More than we all did The bunch of cowards we all feared Oh Lord ain’t that a shame we nothing did till here appeared the guy whose name was Shane That was Shane That was Shane
Měl tváře prachem šedivý a voči jako len Měl divný jméno mazlivý jmenoval se Shane My všichni na něj koukali co se bude dít Pak jména svý jsme říkali a von dal koni pít Byl to Shane Byl to Shane	We saw his face all grey of dust in the setting sun and we just didn’t feel much trust seeing his dangling gun and things that were too bad till now seemed to be getting worse But he didn’t care anyhow and jumped down from his horse That was Shane That was Shane
Měl šaty z módy vyšlý snad v tom se nevyznám a unavenej na zem pad k žlutejm diviznám A pak se zdvih, řek: Už jsem fit jen trochu přitom zív a řek nám, že jde vyčistit ten Augiášův chlív Byl to Shane Byl to Shane	He looked so tired and weary then like he were almost dead But he showed us he was a man I’ll still remember that When he got up and said I am fit to make what I’m here for Must clean this town a little bit and I’m gonna win this war That was Shane That was Shane
A v saloonu tou dobou Reed se svojí bandou pil ten Reed by jistě přestal pít kdyby vytušil že dostane ho pistolník s vočima jako len štíhlej jako řeholník muž toho jména Shane Byl to Shane Byl to Shane	That evening Reed and all his crew were drinking at the bar They wouldn’t sit there if they knew the end is not so far And punishment is coming on by the hand of one great man The man who stands there all alone the man whose name is Shane That was Shane That was Shane
Shane bouchačku si pustil níž než do saloonu vlez a my nad ním dělali kříž vidím to jako dnes A pak jsme jenom slyšeli šest poctivejch ran a tím, že rány zazněly zhas celej Reedův klan Byl to Shane Byl to Shane	A moment later with a smile he pulled his ‘44 We watched him off a little while stepping through barroom door Just standing outside we all heard six noisy deadly bangs, yeah he did what we never dared he finished Reed and his [?] gang That was Shane That was Shane
Shane vyšel ven, měl pevnej krok a řek: je hotovo však rudá krev mu barví bok on měl v něm olovo Pak řek, že je čas vodejít měl v očích chladnej cejn a v saloonu byl mrtvej klid on jmenoval se Shane Byl to Shane Byl to Shane	Shane came out his voice was strong It’s done was all he said But we saw there was something wrong His side was bloody red He said Ain’t got no time to stay Must keep on playing my own game And then he went his secret way We know his name was Shane That was Shane That was Shane
Ten večír rosou zastudil a na kůži sed chlad i já, ač jsem se nenudil, jsem řek, že půjdu spát My dali jsme si po loku, už stařík spí svůj sen, jen já mám jizvu na boku a mý jméno je Shane. Byl to Shane Byl to Shane	The man drank up his glass of gin It’s time to sleep he said And all the lights went low and dim so I also went to bed I always know upon this night that life’s a silly game Cause I got a red scar in my side And my name is Shane That was Shane That was Shane That was Shane...

Shane

Written by Ricky & Marty Wilde

I dreamed I lived the whole thing just last night
Somehow this film just seemed to get it right
I watched a gunfire under dirty western skies
The one man's vision seems to pick me up and fill my eyes

It's Shane, can't you hear me calling you
Shane, if I thought that you would still be riding through
I said Shane, Please take me back there with you
(Take me to you)

I'm watching Marian, as she let go
I felt I was her for a time or so
It's hard for anyone to understand her pain
You gotta see the man to understand she wouldn't change

Shane, can't you hear me calling you
Shane, if I thought that you would still be riding through
I said Shane, Please take me back there with you
(Take me to you)

Shane (I hear it, I hear it, I hear it, Joe's calling)
Shane (I hear it, I hear it, I hear it, Joe's calling)

Shane, can't you hear me calling you
Shane, if I thought that you would still be riding through
I said Shane, Please take me back there with you
(Take me to you)

Shane (I hear it, I hear it, I hear it, Joe's calling)
Shane (I hear it, I hear it, I hear it, Joe's calling)
Shane (I hear it, I hear it, I hear it, Joe's calling)
Shane (I hear it, I hear it, I hear it, Joe's calling)
Shane (I hear it, I hear it, I hear it, Joe's calling)

Shane

Marty & Ricky Wilde wrote this song, inspired by the movie Shane. It appeared as the B-side to Chequered love in 1981.

Marty Wilde: One night I was watching Shane on TV, and suddenly it dawned on me that I was watching a cinematic masterpiece. The film contains some of the finest acting performances in the history of celluloid. The understated way in which Alan Ladd played Shane was an inspiration to me - as, I'm sure, it has been to millions of others over the years. I wrote the lyrics to the song to Alan Ladd and the spirit he leaves behind - a tenderness and gentlemanliness that sometimes seems to have passed us by.

The song Shane was inspired by this movie. What's more, Kim sings "Shane" at the end of the song in pretty much the same way the boy calls this name at the end of the movie.
