Štrasser, Ján: Answering machine (Odkazovač in English)

Portre of Štrasser, Ján

Odkazovač (Slovak)

Volám ti, nie si tam,
je tam len tvoj odkazovať, ping,
po zaznení zvukového signálu
môžem nechať odkaz, pong.
Voláš mi, nie som tu,
je tu len môj odkazovať, pong,
po zaznení zvukového signálu
môžeš nechať odkaz, ping.
Ping-pong! Pong-ping!
Volá ti môj odkazovač,
nie si tam, necháva odkaz
tvojmu odkazovaču,
volá mi tvoj odkazovač,
nie som tu, necháva odkaz,
môjmu odkazovaču, môj odkazovač volá tvoj odkazovač,
tvoj odkazovač nie je tam,
dvíhaš slúchadlo, hovoríš, ach,
to som ja, ak voláte môj odkazovač,
môžete nechať odkaz, och,
tvoj odkazovač volá môj odkazovač,
môj odkazovač nie je tu,
dvíham slúchadlo, hovorím, och,
to som ja, ak voláte môj odkazovač,
 môžete nechať odkaz, ach,
ako neodvolateľne
sme na seba odkázaní.

Answering machine (English)

I call you, you're not there,
just your answering machine's there, ping,
after the signal sounds
I may leave a message, pong.
You call me, I'm not here,
just my answering machine's here, pong,
after the signal sounds
you may leave a message, ping.
Ping-pong! Pong-ping!
My answering machine calls you,
you're not there, it leaves a message
on your answering machine,
your answering machine calls me,
I'm not here, it leaves a message
on my answering machine,
my answering machine calls your answering machine,
your answering machine's not there,
you lift the receiver, you say, ach,
this is me, if you're calling my answering machine
you can leave a message, och,
your answering machine is calling my answering machine,
my answering machine's not here,
I lift the receiver, I say, och,
this is me, if you're calling my answering machine,
you can leave a message, ach,
see how we're on call always,
each to each answerable.
